Development and validation of a risk score to predict adverse birth outcomes using maternal characteristics in northwest Ethiopia: a retrospective follow-up study
In general, this study showed the possibility of predicting adverse birth outcomes using maternal characteristics during pregnancy. The risk prediction model using a simplified risk score helps identify high-risk pregnant women for specific interventions. A feasible score would reduce neonatal morbidity and mortality and improve maternal and child health in low-resource settings.
