Prediction of 2-Year Cognitive Outcomes in Very Preterm Infants Using Machine Learning Methods.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Early intervention can improve cognitive outcomes for very preterm infants but is resource intensive. Identifying those who need early intervention most is important.

Objective

To evaluate a model for use in very preterm infants to predict cognitive delay at 2 years of age using routinely available clinical and sociodemographic data.

Design, setting, and participants

This prognostic study was based on the Swedish Neonatal Quality Register. Nationwide coverage of neonatal data was reached in 2011, and registration of follow-up data opened on January 1, 2015, with inclusion ending on September 31, 2022. A variety of machine learning models were trained and tested to predict cognitive delay. Surviving infants from neonatal units in Sweden with a gestational ag
