Predicting Adverse Neonatal Outcomes for Preterm Neonates with Multi-Task Learning [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Diagnosis of adverse neonatal outcomes is crucial for preterm survival since it enables doctors to provide timely treatment. Machine learning (ML) algorithms have been demonstrated to be effective in predicting adverse neonatal outcomes. However, most previous ML-based methods have only focused on predicting a single outcome, ignoring the potential ...

System modeling of a health issue: the case of preterm birth in Ohio [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Preterm birth rate (PBR) stands out as a major public health concern in the U.S. However, effective policies for mitigating the problem is largely unknown. The complexities of the problem raise critical questions: Why is PBR increasing despite the massive investment for reducing it? What policies can decrease it?

Theoretical open-loop model of respiratory mechanics in the extremely preterm infant [PDF]
, 2018 Non-invasive ventilation is increasingly used for respiratory support in preterm infants, and is associated with a lower risk of chronic lung disease. However, this mode is often not successful in the extremely preterm infant in part due to their markedly increased chest wall compliance that does not provide enough structure against which the forces of

A head start: The relationship of placental factors to craniofacial and brain development
Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract In recent years, the importance of placental function for fetal neurodevelopment has become increasingly studied. This field, known as neuroplacentology, has greatly expanded possible etiologies of neurodevelopmental disorders by exploring the influence of placental function on brain development.

Estimation of preterm birth markers with U-Net segmentation network [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Preterm birth is the most common cause of neonatal death. Current diagnostic methods that assess the risk of preterm birth involve the collection of maternal characteristics and transvaginal ultrasound imaging conducted in the first and second trimester of pregnancy.
