NICU Admission for Term Neonates in a Large Single-Center Population: A Comprehensive Assessment of Risk Factors Using a Tandem Analysis Approach.

The present study identified NICU admission risk factors for term neonates; along with the machine learning ranking of the risk factors, the highly predictive model may serve as a basis for individual risk calculation algorithm prior to delivery. We suggest that in the future, this type of planning of the delivery will serve different health systems, in both high- and low-resource environments, along with the NICU admission or transfer policy.
