Low birth weight risk prediction model: a prognostic study in the Birhan field site in Ethiopia
We developed a modestly accurate risk prediction model to identify pregnancies leading to LBW babies that could aid in early decision-making for prevention. This model is a crucial first step towards developing a clinical decision support tool to prompt early referral of women who are at high risk of having a LBW infant.
