Abstract:
A sophisticated regionalization plan in maternal and child care, including risk assessment, maternal transfer mechanisms, 24 hour communication availability, and regional tertiary perinatal intensive care units (high risk obstetrics integrated with level III neonatal intensive care), has allowed the Province of Ontario to significantly decrease perinatal mortality. Data collection by hospital of birth, birthweight and gestational age shows that this effect is most marked in the preterm infant between 25 and 32 weeks and in hospitals with small obstetrical volumes.

The condition of fetal overgrowth, also known as macrosomia, can cause serious health complications for both the mother and the infant. It is crucial to identify high-risk macrosomia-relevant pregnancies and intervene appropriately. Despite this need, there are several gaps in research related to macrosomia, including limited predictive models, insufficient machine learning applications, ineffective interventions, and inadequate understanding of how to integrate machine learning models into clinical decision-making.

Abstract:
Preeclampsia (PE) is a hypertensive complication affecting 8-10% of US pregnancies annually. While there is no cure for PE, aspirin may reduce complications for those at high risk for PE. Furthermore, PE disproportionately affects racial minorities, with a higher burden of morbidity and mortality. Previous studies have shown early prediction of PE would allow for prevention. We approached the prediction of PE using a new method based on a cost-sensitive deep neural network (CSDNN) by considering the severe imbalance and sparse nature of the data, as well as racial disparities.

Abstract:
Many women who experience gestational diabetes (GDM), gestational hypertension (GHT), pre-eclampsia (PE), have a spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB) or have an offspring born small/large for gestational age (SGA/LGA) do not meet the criteria for high-risk pregnancies based upon certain maternal risk factors. Tools that better predict these outcomes are needed to tailor antenatal care to risk. Recent studies have suggested that metabolomics may improve the prediction of these pregnancy-related disorders. These have largely been based on targeted platforms or focused on a single pregnancy outcome.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND IUI for unexplained infertility can be performed in a natural cycle or in combination with ovarian stimulation. A disadvantage of ovarian stimulation is an increased risk of multiple pregnancies with its inherent maternal and neonatal complication risks. Stimulation agents for ovarian stimulation are clomiphene citrate (CC), Letrozole or gonadotrophins. Although studies have compared two or three of these drugs to each other in IUI, they have never been compared to one another in one analysis.

Abstract Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is an important last resort therapy for hematological diseases. Unfortunately, the success of a large proportion of these transplants is limited by graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Currently known risk factors for acute GVHD (histoincompatibility, sex mismatch, older patients, previous pregnancies) do not provide a precise estimate of individual patient risk and do not help for individualization of the therapy. Although GVHD may have beneficial graft-versus-tumor effects, observational studies have identified GVHD as the main cause o
