Fetal Heart Rate Changes and Labor Neuraxial Analgesia: a Machine Learning Approach

Overview

This study aims to perform statistical inference and prediction of changes in fetal heart rate during active labor in healthy pregnant women by comparing three different machine learning methods

Purpose: This study aims to perform statistical inference and prediction of changes in fetal heart rate during active labor in healthy pregnant women by comparing three different machine learning methods. Methods: A retrospective analysis of 1077 healthy laboring parturients receiving neuraxial analgesia was conducted. We compared a principal components regression model with treebased random forest, ridge regression, multiple regression, a general additive model, and elastic net in terms of prediction accuracy and interpretability for inference purposes.
