Machine learning-based prediction of preeclampsia: a comparative study on model effectiveness

This study evaluates machine learning algorithms for predicting preeclampsia in a small Sri Lankan cohort with severe class imbalance, finding that ensemble methods like XGBoost combined with SMOTE offer promising discrimination but emphasizing that the results remain methodological feasibility findings rather than clinically deployable tools due to limited sample size and lack of external validation.
