Prediction of newborn's body mass index using nationwide multicenter ultrasound data: a machine-learning study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study introduced machine learning approaches to predict newborn's body mass index (BMI) based on ultrasound measures and maternal/delivery information.

Methods

Data came from 3159 obstetric patients and their newborns enrolled in a multi-center retrospective study. Variable importance, the effect of a variable on model performance, was used for identifying major predictors of newborn's BMI among ultrasound measures and maternal/delivery information. The ultrasound measures included biparietal diameter (BPD), abdominal circumference (AC) and estimated fetal weight (EFW) taken three times during the week 21 - week 35 of gestational age and once in the week 36 or later.

Results

Based on variable importance from the random forest, major predictors of newborn's BMI were the first AC and EFW in the week 36 or later, gestational age at delivery, the first AC during the week 21 - the week 35, maternal BMI at delivery, maternal weight at delivery and the first BPD in the week 36 or later. For predicting newborn's BMI, linear regression (2.0744) and the random forest (2.1610) were better than artificial neural networks with one, two and three hidden layers (150.7100, 154.7198 and 152.5843, respectively) in the mean squared error.

Conclusions

This is the first machine-learning study with 64 clinical and sonographic markers for the prediction of newborns' BMI. The week 36 or later is the most effective period for taking the ultrasound measures and AC and EFW are the best predictors of newborn's BMI alongside gestational age at delivery and maternal BMI at delivery.

Project description:There has been no machine learning study with a rich collection of clinical, sonographic markers to compare the performance measures for a variety of newborns' weight-for-height indicators. This study compared the performance measures for a variety of newborns' weight-for-height indicators based on machine learning, ultrasonographic data and maternal/delivery information. The source of data for this study was a multi-center retrospective study with 2949 mother-newborn pairs. The mean-squared-error-over-variance measures of five machine learning approaches were compared for newborn's weight, newborn's weight/height, newborn's weight/height2 and newborn's weight/hieght3. Random forest variable importance, the influence of a variable over average node impurity, was used to identify major predictors of these newborns' weight-for-height indicators among ultrasonographic data and maternal/delivery information. Regarding ultrasonographic fetal biometry, newborn's weight, newborn's weight/height and newborn's weight/height2 were better indicators with smaller mean-squared-error-over-variance measures than newborn's weight/height3. Based on random forest variable importance, the top six predictors of newborn's weight were the same as those of newborn's weight/height and those of newborn's weight/height2: gestational age at delivery time, the first estimated fetal weight and abdominal circumference in week 36 or later, maternal weight and body mass index at delivery time, and the first biparietal diameter in week 36 or later. These six predictors also ranked within the top seven for large-for-gestational-age and the top eight for small-for-gestational-age. In conclusion, newborn's weight, newborn's weight/height and newborn's weight/height2 are more suitable for ultrasonographic fetal biometry with smaller mean-squared-error-over-variance measures than newborn's weight/height3. Machine learning with ultrasonographic data would be an effective noninvasive approach for predicting newborn's weight, weight/height and weight/height2.
