Fig. 5: Maternal factors associated with NICU admission.
From: The association of maternal factors with the neonatal microbiota and health
The 164 maternal-neonatal dyads were classified to groups A and B according to the clustering of the Gower’s distance of maternal variables in each maternal factor module. The results of modules 11 and 7 are shown on (a, b). c The association between the maternal modules and the risk of NICU admission was determined by the two-sided odds ratio analysis. Data are presented as risk ratios and upper and lower bounds of the estimate. The P values or P values with multiple testing corrections are shown. d A predictive model for the risk of the NICU admission was established using the random forest algorithm. The quality of the model, quantified by the area under the receiver operating characteristic (auROC), and the importance of input variables, determined by the mean decrease in Gini coefficient (Mean Decrease Gini), are shown. e The correlation among the input variables in the random forest model was tested by the Spearman’s correlation. The correlation coefficients with significant correlations are shown by the heatmap.
