Mortality risk associated with clinical signs of possible serious bacterial infection (PSBI) in young infants in Africa and Asia: protocol for a secondary pooled analysis.

BMJ open
INTRODUCTION: The WHO's Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) in young infants <2 months of age includes the identification and management of signs of possible serious bacterial infection (PSBI). However, equal importance is given to all ...

Identifying determinants of under-5 mortality in Bangladesh: A machine learning approach with BDHS 2022 data.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: Under-5 mortality in Bangladesh remains a critical indicator of public health and socio-economic development. Traditional methods often struggle to capture the complex, non-linear relationships influencing under-5 mortality. This study le...

Exploring the achievements and forecasting of SDG 3 using machine learning algorithms: Bangladesh perspective.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG 3), focusing on ensuring healthy lives and well-being for all, holds global significance and is particularly vital for Bangladesh. Neonatal Mortality Rate (NMR), Under-5 Mortality Rate (U5MR), Maternal ...

Analyzing and forecasting under-5 mortality trends in Bangladesh using machine learning techniques.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: Under-5 mortality remains a critical social indicator of a country's development and economic sustainability, particularly in developing nations like Bangladesh. This study employs machine learning models, including Linear Regression, Rid...

Machine-learning-based evaluation of the usefulness of lactate for predicting neonatal mortality in preterm infants.

Pediatrics and neonatology
BACKGROUND: Unlike in adult and pediatric patients, the usefulness of lactate in preterm infants has not been thoroughly discussed. This study aimed to evaluate whether the lactate level in the first hours of life is an important factor associated wi...

Geographic inequities in neonatal survival in Nigeria: a cross-sectional evidence from spatial and artificial neural network analyses.

Journal of biosocial science
This study was conducted to provide empirical evidence of geographical variations of neonatal mortality and its associated social determinants with a view to improving neonatal survival at the subnational level in Nigeria. With a combination of spati...

Exploring the determinants of under-five mortality and morbidity from infectious diseases in Cambodia-a traditional and machine learning approach.

Scientific reports
Cambodia has made progress in reducing the under-five mortality rate and burden of infectious diseases among children over the last decades. However the determinants of child mortality and morbidity in Cambodia is not well understood, and no recent a...

Predicting early mortality and severe intraventricular hemorrhage in very-low birth weight preterm infants: a nationwide, multicenter study using machine learning.

Scientific reports
Our aim was to develop a machine learning-based predictor for early mortality and severe intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in very-low birth weight (VLBW) preterm infants in Taiwan. We collected retrospective data from VLBW infants, dividing them int...

Computational Approaches for Predicting Preterm Birth and Newborn Outcomes.

Clinics in perinatology
Preterm birth (PTB) and its associated morbidities are a leading cause of infant mortality and morbidity. Accurate predictive models and a better biological understanding of PTB-associated morbidities are critical in reducing their adverse effects. I...
