Predicting severe health issues during and after pregnancy using various health data
Using Multimodal Clinical and SDOH Data to Develop Risk Models for Predicting Severe Maternal Morbidity
This study is looking to create tools that can help predict which pregnant women might face serious health issues, by looking at both their medical history and social factors, so that doctors can provide better care and support during pregnancy and after childbirth.

What this research studies
This research aims to develop risk models that can predict severe maternal morbidity (SMM) by analyzing detailed clinical data alongside social determinants of health (SDOH). It focuses on understanding the complex interplay of physical, mental, and social factors that contribute to adverse outcomes during pregnancy and postpartum. By identifying women at higher risk for complications, the research seeks to improve prenatal care and management of chronic conditions. The study will utilize comprehensive data collection methods to ensure accurate predictions and better health outcomes.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research include pregnant women, particularly those from non-Hispanic Black communities who are at higher risk for severe maternal morbidity.
Not a fit: Patients who are not pregnant or those who do not have any risk factors for severe maternal morbidity may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved prenatal care and reduced rates of severe complications for pregnant women.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown promise in using integrated clinical and social data to improve health outcomes, indicating that this approach could be effective.
