Machine learning models for predicting pre-eclampsia: a systematic review protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Pre-eclampsia is one of the most serious clinical problems of pregnancy that contribute significantly to maternal mortality worldwide. This systematic review aims to identify and summarise the predictive factors of pre-eclampsia using machine learning models and evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of machine learning models in predicting pre-eclampsia.

Methods and analysis

This review adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. This search strategy includes the search for published studies from inception to January 2023. Databases include the Cochrane Central Register, PubMed, EMBASE, ProQuest, Scopus and Google Scholar. Search terms include 'preeclampsia' AND 'artificial intelligence' OR 'machine learning' OR 'deep learning'. All studies that used machine learning-based analysis for predicting pre-eclampsia in pregnant women will be considered. Non-English articles and those that are unrelated to the topic will be excluded. PROBAST (Prediction model Risk Of Bias ASsessment Tool) will be used to assess the risk of bias and the applicability of each included study.

Ethics and dissemination

Ethical approval is not required, as our review will include published and publicly accessible data. Findings from this review will be disseminated via publication in a peer-review journal.

Prospero registration number

Project description:IntroductionPre-eclampsia (PE) is a leading cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Low-dose aspirin can prevent PE in high risk pregnancies if started early. However, despite intense research into the area, early pregnancy screening for PE risk is still not a routine part of pregnancy care. Several studies have described the application of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in risk prediction of PE and its subtypes. A systematic review of available literature is necessary to catalogue the current applications of AI/ML methods in early pregnancy screening for PE, in order to better inform the development of clinically relevant risk prediction algorithms which will enable timely intervention and the development of new treatment strategies. The aim of this systematic review is to identify and assess studies regarding the application of AI/ML methods in early pregnancy screening for PE.MethodsA systematic review of peer-reviewed as well as the pre-published cohort, case-control, or cross-sectional studies will be conducted. Relevant information will be accessed from the following databases; PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Arxiv, BioRxiv, and MedRxiv. The studies will be evaluated by two reviewers in a parallel, blind assessment of the literature, a third reviewer will assess any studies in which the first two reviewers did not agree. The free online tool Rayyan, will be used in this literature assessment stage. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 checklist will be used to guide the review process and the methods of the studies will be assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. Narrative synthesis will be conducted for all included studies. Meta-analysis will also be conducted where data quality and availability allow.Ethics and disseminationThe review will not require ethical approval and the findings will be published in a peer-reviewed journal using the PRISMA guidelines.Trial registrationTrial registration: The protocol for this systematic review has been registered in PROSPERO [CRD42022345786]. https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?ID=CRD42022345786.

Project description:IntroductionApproximately 7,000 newborns die every day, accounting for almost half of child deaths under 5 years of age. Deciphering which neonates are at increased risk for mortality can have an important global impact. As such, integrating high computational technology (e.g., artificial intelligence [AI]) may help identify the early and potentially modifiable predictors of neonatal mortality. Therefore, the objective of this study was to collate, critically appraise, and analyze neonatal prediction studies that included AI.MethodsA literature search was performed in PubMed, Cochrane, OVID, and Google Scholar. We included studies that used AI (e.g., machine learning (ML) and deep learning) to formulate prediction models for neonatal death. We excluded small studies (n < 500 individuals) and studies using only antenatal factors to predict mortality. Two independent investigators screened all articles for inclusion. The data collection consisted of study design, number of models, features used per model, feature importance, internal and/or external validation, and calibration analysis. Our primary outcome was the average area under the receiving characteristic curve (AUC) or sensitivity and specificity for all models included in each study.ResultsOf 434 articles, 11 studies were included. The total number of participants was 1.26 M with gestational ages ranging from 22 weeks to term. Number of features ranged from 3 to 66 with timing of prediction as early as 5 min of life to a maximum of 7 days of age. The average number of models per study was 4, with neural network, random forest, and logistic regression comprising the most used models (58.3%). Five studies (45.5%) reported calibration plots and 2 (18.2%) conducted external validation. Eight studies reported results by AUC and 5 studies reported the sensitivity and specificity. The AUC varied from 58.3% to 97.0%. The mean sensitivities ranged from 63% to 80% and specificities from 78% to 99%. The best overall model was linear discriminant analysis, but it also had a high number of features (n = 17).Discussion/conclusionML models can accurately predict death in neonates. This analysis demonstrates the most commonly used predictors and metrics for AI prediction models for neonatal mortality. Future studies should focus on external validation, calibration, as well as deployment of applications that can be readily accessible to health-care providers.
