BACKGROUND: In 2019, AABB released the bulletin "Recommendations on the Use of Group O Red Blood Cells" in which the recommendations about pediatric and neonatal blood transfusions were limited. Eight U.S. pediatric hospitals sought to determine tren...
Premature birth can be defined as birth before 37 weeks of gestation, which is a significant global health issue, being the main cause for neonatal deaths. In this work, we evaluate machine learning models for predicting premature birth using Brazili...
Biochemical changes in the cervix during labor are not well understood. This gap in knowledge is significant, as understanding the precise biochemical processes can provide critical insights into the mechanisms of labor and potentially inform better ...
Preterm birth (PTB), defined as delivery before 37 weeks, affects 15 million infants annually, accounting for 11% of live births and over 35% of neonatal deaths. While advanced maternal age (≥ 35 years) is a known risk factor, PTB risk in women under...
Early prediction of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in very low-birthweight infants (VLBWIs) remains challenging because of multifactorial risk factors. IVH often occurs within a few hours after birth, yet its onset cannot be reliably predicted usi...
We aimed to investigate the independent outcome predictors of continuous antibiotic prophylaxis (CAP) in vesicoureteral reflux, train a model to predict the outcome, and evaluate which infants should be referred for endoscopic vesicoureteral reflux c...
BACKGROUND: Low birth weight (LBW) is a critical factor linked to neonatal morbidity and mortality. Early prediction is essential for timely interventions. This study aimed to develop and evaluate predictive models for LBW using machine learning algo...
The understanding of the convoluted evolution of infant brain networks during the first postnatal year is pivotal for identifying the dynamics of early brain connectivity development. Thanks to the valuable insights into the brain's anatomy, existing...
OBJECTIVE: Sub-optimal uterine-placental perfusion and fetal nutrition can lead to intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), also called fetal growth restriction (FGR). Antenatal cardiotocography (CTG) can aid in the early detection of IUGR. Reliably d...
Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a thrombo-hemorrhagic disorder that can be life-threatening in critically ill children, and the quest for an accurate and efficient method for early DIC prediction is of paramount importance. Candidate ...
