Neonatal period; Digital health; Morbidity prediction; Machine learning; Risk stratification; Pediatrics; Perinatal risk factors.Abstract
Morbidity among infants during the first year of life remains one of the most significant medical and social challenges in modern pediatrics. Despite continuous improvements in neonatal care and reductions in infant mortality rates across many countries, the high prevalence of infectious, respiratory, neurological, and metabolic disorders in early childhood continues to substantially affect population health outcomes. Most pathological conditions developing during the first year of life are associated with risk factors already present in the neonatal period. Modern data analytics and machine learning technologies provide new opportunities for the early prediction of adverse health outcomes and the development of personalized preventive strategies.
