ObjectiveThis paper illustrates a retrospective study of the outcome of those pregnancies that continued from an initial episode of bleeding in first trimester.MethodsNeural networks is used for the prediction of preterm delivery, using various inputs such as the age of women, gestational age when the bleeding occurred, duration of the bleeding days, amount of bleeding, number of episodes, presence or absence of hematoma and placentation position.ResultsThe success rate of prediction obtained using the feed forward backpropogation network is 70%. Hence, this model can be used to identify women at the risk of premature delivery for planning antenatal care and clinical interventions in pregnancy.
