Establishment of a Machine Learning‐Based Prediction Model for Short‐Term Adverse Prognosis in Neonatal Bacterial Meningitis

iLABMED, EarlyView.
This study systematically evaluated multiple machine learning models to predict short‐term adverse prognosis in neonatal bacterial meningitis using a retrospective cohort of 433 infants. The logistic regression model, combining mRMR‐selected and clinically prioritized variables, demonstrated optimal predictive performance (AUC = 0.908).
