Association Between COVID-19 During Pregnancy and Preterm Birth by Trimester of Infection: Retrospective Cohort Study Using Large-Scale Social Media Data.

Journal of medical Internet research
BACKGROUND: Preterm birth, defined as birth at <37 weeks of gestation, is the leading cause of neonatal death globally and the second leading cause of infant mortality in the United States. There is mounting evidence that COVID-19 infection during pr...

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...

Interpretable machine learning-based insights into early-life endocrine disruptor exposure and small vulnerable newborns.

Journal of hazardous materials
Early-life exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) may contribute to small vulnerable newborns, including conditions such as being small for gestational age (SGA) and preterm birth (PTB), yet evidence remains limited. This study, which is b...

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 ...
