PURPOSE: To provide automatic detection of Type 1 retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), Type 2 ROP, and A-ROP by deep learning-based analysis of fundus images obtained by clinical examination using convolutional neural networks.
BACKGROUND: Accurate prediction of the optimal dose for β-lactam antibiotics in neonatal sepsis is challenging. We aimed to evaluate whether a reliable clinical decision support system (CDSS) based on machine learning (ML) can assist clinicians in ma...

BACKGROUND: Recent studies reveal that around 1.9 million stillbirths occur annually worldwide, with Sub-Saharan Africa having among the highest cases. Some Sub-Saharan African countries, including Ghana, failed to meet Millennium Development Goal 5 ...
BACKGROUND: Acute respiratory infections (ARIs) are the leading cause of death in children under the age of 5 globally. Maternal healthcare-seeking behavior may help minimize mortality associated with ARIs since they make decisions about the kind and...
SIGNIFICANCE: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) poses a significant global threat to childhood vision, necessitating effective screening strategies. This study addresses the impact of color channels in fundus imaging on ROP diagnosis, emphasizing the ...
Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD) in offspring are associated with a complex combination of pre-and postnatal factors. This study uses machine learning and population data to evaluate the association between prepregnancy or perinatal risk factors an...
Bacterial infection is one of the major causes of neonatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Finding rapid and reliable methods for early recognition and diagnosis of bacterial infections and early individualization of antibacterial drug administrat...

BACKGROUND: Oxygen saturation (Spo) screening has not led to earlier detection of critical congenital heart disease (CCHD). Adding pulse oximetry features (ie, perfusion data and radiofemoral pulse delay) may improve CCHD detection, especially coarct...
