Machine learning for the prediction of spontaneous preterm birth using early second and third trimester maternal blood gene expression: A cautionary tale.

PloS one
Spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB) remains a significant global health challenge and a leading cause of neonatal mortality and morbidity. Despite advancements in neonatal care, the prediction of sPTB remains elusive, in part due to complex etiologies a...

Novel Technologies in Preterm Birth Prediction: Current Advances and Ethical Challenges.

Journal of mother and child
Preterm birth (PTB) remains a significant challenge in modern obstetric practice, posing considerable risks to maternal and neonatal health. Despite advancements in medical technology, the incidence of PTB remains high, and its prediction continues t...

Preterm birth trends and risk factors in a multi-ethnic Asian population: A retrospective study from 2017 to 2023, can we screen and predict this?

Annals of the Academy of Medicine, Singapore
INTRODUCTION: Preterm birth (PTB) remains a leading cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Understanding Singapore's PTB trends and associated risk factors can inform effective strategies for screening and intervention. This study anal...

The association between maternal exposure to ten neonicotinoid insecticides and preterm birth in Guangxi, China.

Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)
Preterm birth (PTB) is a primary cause of mortality among newborns globally. Prenatal exposure to environmental pollutants has been suggested to increase the PTB risk. Studies have shown NEOs may be linked to adverse birth outcomes. However, the impa...

Evaluating how different balancing data techniques impact on prediction of premature birth using machine learning models.

PloS one
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...

Machine learning prediction of preterm birth in women under 35 using routine biomarkers in a retrospective cohort study.

Scientific reports
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...

Predicting preterm birth using machine learning methods.

Scientific reports
Preterm birth is a significant public health concern, given its correlation with neonatal mortality and morbidity. The aetiology of preterm birth is complex and multifactorial. The objective of this study was to develop and compare machine learning m...

Predicting preterm birth using electronic medical records from multiple prenatal visits.

BMC pregnancy and childbirth
This study aimed to predict preterm birth in nulliparous women using machine learning and easily accessible variables from prenatal visits. Elastic net regularized logistic regression models were developed and evaluated using 5-fold cross-validation ...

Evaluation of Pregnancy Risks in Women with Subchorionic Hematoma Using Machine Learning Models.

Medical science monitor : international medical journal of experimental and clinical research
BACKGROUND Subchorionic hematoma (SCH) can lead to blood accumulation and potentially affect pregnancy outcomes. Despite being a relatively common finding in early pregnancy, the effects of SCH on pregnancy outcomes such as miscarriage, stillbirth, a...

Prediction of preterm birth using machine learning: a comprehensive analysis based on large-scale preschool children survey data in Shenzhen of China.

BMC pregnancy and childbirth
BACKGROUND: Preterm birth (PTB) is a significant cause of neonatal mortality and long-term health issues. Accurate prediction and timely prevention of PTB are essential for reducing associated child mortality and morbidity. Traditional predictive met...
