Estimating risk of severe neonatal morbidity in preterm births under 32 weeks of gestation.

The journal of maternal-fetal & neonatal medicine : the official journal of the European Association of Perinatal Medicine, the Federation of Asia and Oceania Perinatal Societies, the International Society of Perinatal Obstetricians
A large recent study analyzed the relationship between multiple factors and neonatal outcome and in preterm births. Study variables included the reason for admission, indication for delivery, optimal steroid use, gestational age, and other potential...

Relevant Features Selection for Automatic Prediction of Preterm Deliveries from Pregnancy ElectroHysterograhic (EHG) records.

Journal of medical systems
In this study, we proposed an approach able to predict whether a pregnant woman with contractions would give birth earlier than expected (i.e., before the 37 week of gestation (WG)). It only processes non-invasive electrohysterographic (EHG) signals...

Investigating the use of support vector machine classification on structural brain images of preterm-born teenagers as a biological marker.

PloS one
Preterm birth has been shown to induce an altered developmental trajectory of brain structure and function. With the aid support vector machine (SVM) classification methods we aimed to investigate whether MRI data, collected in adolescence, could be ...

Ensemble of trees approaches to risk adjustment for evaluating a hospital's performance.

Health care management science
A commonly used method for evaluating a hospital's performance on an outcome is to compare the hospital's observed outcome rate to the hospital's expected outcome rate given its patient (case) mix and service. The process of calculating the hospital'...

A heterogeneity analysis of health-related quality of life in early adults born very preterm or very low birthweight across the sociodemographic spectrum.

Social science & medicine (1982)
Preterm birth and very low birthweight (VP/VLBW) are associated with poorer health-related quality of life (HRQoL) outcomes extending into adulthood, yet it remains unclear how these effects differ across sociodemographic subgroups. This study aimed ...

Black-White Differences in Chronic Stress Exposures to Predict Preterm Birth: Interpretable, Race/Ethnicity-Specific Machine Learning Models.

Studies in health technology and informatics
We developed Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines (MARS) machine learning models of chronic stressors using the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System data (2012-2017) to predict preterm birth (PTB) more accurately and identify chronic stres...

Biomarker Identification for Preterm Birth Susceptibility: Vaginal Microbiome Meta-Analysis Using Systems Biology and Machine Learning Approaches.

American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989)
PROBLEM: The vaginal microbiome has a substantial role in the occurrence of preterm birth (PTB), which contributes substantially to neonatal mortality worldwide. However, current bioinformatics approaches mostly concentrate on the taxonomic classific...

Towards an Explainable AI-Based Tool to Predict Preterm Birth.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Preterm birth (PTB) is defined as delivery occurring before 37 weeks of gestation. In this paper, Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based predictive models are adapted to accurately estimate the probability of PTB. In doing so, pregnant women' objective r...

Towards deep phenotyping pregnancy: a systematic review on artificial intelligence and machine learning methods to improve pregnancy outcomes.

Briefings in bioinformatics
OBJECTIVE: Development of novel informatics methods focused on improving pregnancy outcomes remains an active area of research. The purpose of this study is to systematically review the ways that artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML)...

Robot-Assisted Abdominal Cerclage During Pregnancy.

JSLS : Journal of the Society of Laparoendoscopic Surgeons
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Cervical insufficiency is a difficult condition to diagnose and can lead to preterm birth, miscarriage, or perinatal infant morbidity and mortality. We conducted this retrospective case study and literature review to evalua...
