    A Naive Bayes machine-learning model effectively predicted preterm birth in pregnant women with gestational diabetes and hypertensive disorders.

  • 2

    The study utilized electronic medical records from two hospitals in China, focusing on high-risk pregnancies with comorbid conditions.

  • 3

    Thirteen significant variables were identified, leading to five key predictors incorporated into the predictive model.

  • 4

    The Naive Bayes model demonstrated superior clinical net benefit and robustness compared to other algorithms like LASSO and Random Forest.

  • 5

    Future research should validate the model in larger cohorts and explore its integration into clinical decision support systems.
