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

Application of signal processing techniques in the assessment of clinical risks in preterm infants [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 Preterm infants with very low birth weight suffer from a high risk of intra-ventricular hemorrhage(IVH) and other serious diseases. To improve the clinical risk assessment of preterm infants and develop potential clinically makers for the adverse outcome, the first part of the paper develops the frequency spectral analysis on the non-invasively ...

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?
