OBJECTIVE: Bleeding in early pregnancy is a common obstetric presentation in the emergency department (ED) and the outcome is difficult to predict. We developed and compared random forest machine learning (Live Birth Risk Score [LiBRisk]) and nomogram models for predicting the chances of a live birth among women presenting at three Canadian EDs with bleeding in early pregnancy. METHODS: Data were prospectively collected on 200 patients with bleeding in early pregnancy using a structured questionnaire, chart review, and administrative databases. We developed the nomogram with variables selected via multivariable logistic regression analysis. LiBRisk was built using the Shapley variable importance cloud (ShapleyVIC) to derive a simple point-based clinical risk scoring system. RESULTS: Overall, 115 (55%) patients experienced a miscarriage. We excluded duration of vaginal bleeding and pain score which did not enhance model performance, and constructed LiBRisk with the 8 most important variables (β-HCG level, age, gestational age, gravidity, parity, proportionality of uterine size to gestational age, abdominal cramping, and number of prior spontaneous abortions). All 10 variables were included in the nomogram. The AUC of LiBRisk in the test and validation sets were 0.913 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.907-0.919) and 0.900 (95% CI, 0.887-0.913), respectively. The C-index of the nomogram was 0.720 (95% CI, 0.714-0.726) and 0.860 (95% CI, 0.853-0.867) in the test and validation sets, respectively. LiBRisk outperformed the nomogram in all metrics. CONCLUSIONS: We developed and compared LiBRisk and nomogram models for determining the probability of eventual pregnancy success/failure in women presenting to the ED with bleeding in early pregnancy. LiBRisk was more parsimonious, incorporating only 8 variables and outperformed the nomogram in all metrics. Given these promising results, further testing seems warranted.
