ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
The correlation between radiation exposure before pregnancy and abnormal birth weight has been previously proven. However, for large-for-gestational-age (LGA) babies in women exposed to radiation before becoming pregnant, there is no prediction model yet. MATERIAL ANDMETHODS:
The data were collected from the National Free Preconception Health Examination Project in China. A sum of 455 neonates (42 SGA births and 423 non-LGA births) were included. A training set (n = 319) and a test set (n = 136) were created from the dataset at random. To develop prediction models for LGA neonates, conventional logistic regression (LR) method and six machine learning methods were used in this study. Recursive feature elimination approach was performed by choosing 10 features which made a big contribution to the prediction models. And the Shapley Additive Explanation model was applied to interpret the most important characteristics that affected forecast outputs.RESULTS:
The random forest (RF) model had the highest average area under the receiver-operating-characteristic curve (AUC) for predicting LGA in the test set (0.843, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.714-0.974). Except for the logistic regression model (AUC 0.603, 95%CI 0.440-0.767), other models' AUCs displayed well. Thereinto, the RF algorithm's final prediction model using 10 characteristics achieved an average AUC of 0.821 (95% CI 0.693-0.949).CONCLUSION:
The prediction model based on machine learning might be a promising tool for the prenatal prediction of LGA births in women with radiation exposure before pregnancy.Palavras-chave
