Abstract

Risk-prediction models for breakthrough pain facilitate interventions to forestall inadequate labour analgesia, but limited work has used machine learning to identify predictive factors. We compared the performance of machine learning and regression techniques in identifying parturients at increased risk of breakthrough pain during labour epidural analgesia.
