College of Clinical Medicine for Obstetrics & Gynecology and Pediatrics, Fujian Medical University, Fuzhou, China.

Article Synopsis
  • The study conducted a scoping review of literature from the last decade on machine learning (ML) applications for female urinary incontinence (UI), identifying trends and methodologies used in research.
  • Out of 798 papers reviewed, only 23 met the inclusion criteria, primarily utilizing logistic regression to predict factors like postpartum UI and outcomes after pelvic surgery.
  • While the ML models showed promising predictive abilities (area under curve ranging from 0.56 to 0.95), issues such as lack of standardization and insufficient validation undermine their real-world applicability, highlighting the need for improvement in these areas for future studies.
