Exploiting Ensemble Classification Schemes to Improve Prognosis Process for Large for Gestational Age Fetus Classification

Large for gestational (LGA) means the fetus having an abnormal birth weight. It adheres severe complications during and after the maternal period. Therefore, this research presents an ensemble classification scheme using Chinese National Pre-Pregnancy Examination Program dataset to classify a fetus as an LGA or non-LGA based on provided Chinese LGA classification guidelines. Moreover, the proposed scheme is comprised of data cleansing and ensemble classification schemes that have drastically improved the LGA classification process with improved performance results compared to present published studies. Therefore, the recommended scheme can be utilized by healthcare professionals to build an enhanced and reliable LGA classification system.
