Objective: We sought to determine whether a stable topical formulation of 15% L-ascorbic acid, 1% alpha-tocopherol, and 0.

Data mining methods for improving birth outcomes prediction.

Data mining is a research method that is increasingly being used to predict clinical outcomes, for example, cancer or AIDS survival, diagnostic accuracy in abdominal pain or brain tumors, and much more. In clinical practice, predicting which patients will deliver preterm versus full term remains a complex clinical problem for families and the healthcare system. Exploratory data mining was used for predicting birth outcomes in a racially diverse sample (n = 19,970).
