Project outline
Multiple fetal maternal factors lead to increased risk of poor pregnancy and fetal outcome. In this project we plan to identify and systematically review the most important maternal and fetal risk factors for pregnancy outcomes. We aim to harness the power of artificial intelligence to interrogate maternal and neonatal datasets at the INFANT Research Centre and from data available in the Maternal & Newborn Clinical Management System (MN-CMS), a unique set of electronic health records. Using multiple variables identified in these data, we plan to develop models to provide essential clinical decision-making support to identify and better monitor pregnancies deemed at risk of adverse perinatal outcomes.
