Model and variable selection using machine learning methods with applications to childhood stunting in Bangladesh.

Informatics for health & social care
Childhood stunting is a serious public health concern in Bangladesh. Earlier research used conventional statistical methods to identify the risk factors of stunting, and very little is known about the applications and usefulness of machine learning (...

Machine learning model demonstrates stunting at birth and systemic inflammatory biomarkers as predictors of subsequent infant growth - a four-year prospective study.

BMC pediatrics
BACKGROUND: Stunting affects up to one-third of the children in low-to-middle income countries (LMICs) and has been correlated with decline in cognitive capacity and vaccine immunogenicity. Early identification of infants at risk is critical for earl...

Quality of Life in Adolescent Boys with Idiopathic Short Stature: Positive Impact of Growth Hormone and Aromatase Inhibitors.

Hormone research in paediatrics
BACKGROUND: The combination of growth hormone (GH) and aromatase inhibitors (AI) improves linear growth in severely short adolescent boys; however, the effects of this intervention on quality of life (QoL) are unknown. This study assesses whether GH,...

Evaluating Prevalence of Preterm Postnatal Growth Faltering Using Fenton 2013 and INTERGROWTH-21st Growth Charts with Logistic and Machine Learning Models.

Nutrients
Postnatal growth faltering (PGF) significantly affects premature neonates, leading to compromised neurodevelopment and an increased risk of long-term health complications. This retrospective study at a level III NICU of a tertiary hospital analyzed...

Explainable predictive models of short stature and exploration of related environmental growth factors: a case-control study.

BMC endocrine disorders
BACKGROUND: Short stature is a prevalent pediatric endocrine disorder for which early detection and prediction are pivotal for improving treatment outcomes. However, existing diagnostic criteria often lack the necessary sensitivity and specificity be...

Application of Machine Learning Approaches to Predict Postnatal Growth Failure in Very Low Birth Weight Infants.

Yonsei medical journal
PURPOSE: The aims of the study were to develop and evaluate a machine learning model with which to predict postnatal growth failure (PGF) among very low birth weight (VLBW) infants.

Machine learning-based prediction of response to growth hormone treatment in Turner syndrome: the LG Growth Study.

Journal of pediatric endocrinology & metabolism : JPEM
Background Growth hormone (GH) treatment has become a common practice in Turner syndrome (TS). However, there are only a few studies on the response to GH treatment in TS. The aim of this study is to predict the responsiveness to GH treatment and to ...
