Core Tip
Core Tip: In this study, to identify and build the best model for predicting cyanotic and acyanotic congenital heart disease in children during pregnancy and identify their risk factors, we employed machine learning models and compared their performance to choose the best one. We also used multivariate outlier detection methods to determine the outlier cases. The best fit model for congenital heart disease was the artificial neural network model. Children having a positive family history are at very high risk of having cyanotic and acyanotic congenital heart disease.
