Use of artificial intelligence to study the hospitalization of women undergoing caesarean section.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThe incidence of caesarean sections (CSs) has increased significantly in recent years, especially in developed countries. This study aimed to identify the factors that most influence the length of hospital stay (LOS) after a CS, using data from 9,900 women who underwent CS at the "Federico II" University Hospital of Naples between 2014 and 2021.
methodsVarious artificial intelligence models were employed to analyze the relationships between the LOS and a set of independent variables, including maternal and foetal characteristics. The analysis focused on identifying the model with the best predictive performance and specific comorbidities impacting LOS.
resultsA multiple linear regression model determined the highest R-value (0.815), indicating a strong correlation between the identified variables and LOS. Significant predictors of LOS included abnormal foetuses, cardiovascular disease, respiratory disorders, hypertension, haemorrhage, multiple births, preeclampsia, previous delivery complications, surgical complications, and preoperative LOS. In terms of classification models, the decision tree yielded the highest accuracy (75%).
conclusionsThe study concluded that certain comorbidities, such as cardiovascular disease and preeclampsia, significantly impact LOS following a CS. These findings can assist hospital management in optimizing resource allocation and reducing costs by focusing on the most influential factors.
