Predicting Birth Weight Using Artificial Neural Network

  • 1. Department of Information Technology, Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology, Al-Azhar University - Gaza, Palestine

Description

: In this research, an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model was 
developed and tested to predict Birth Weight. A number of factors were identified 
that may affect birth weight. Factors such as smoke, race, age, weight (lbs) at last 
menstrual period, hypertension, uterine irritability, number of physician visits in 1st 
trimester, among others, as input variables for the ANN model. A model based on 
multi-layer concept topology was developed and trained using the data from some 
birth cases in hospitals.
The evaluation of testing the dataset shows that the ANN model is capable of 
correctly predicting the birth weight with 100% accuracy.
