EHG sinyallerinden Erken Doğum Tespiti

Erken doğum dünya genelinde büyük problemlerden biridir. Geçmişten günümüze kadar erken doğumu tespit etmek amacıyla farklı yöntemler araştırılmış ve kullanılmıştır. En yaygın kullanılanları ise; Tokodinamometre cihazı, Transvajinal Serviks Uzunluğu, Bishop Skoru ve ElectroHysteroGram (EHG) sinyalidir. Yapılan araştırmalar, EHG sinyalleri kullanılarak Erken doğum riskinin tahmin edilmesinde yaygın olarak kullanıldığı gözlenmiştir. Çalışmalarda, EHG sinyallerinden öznitelik çıkartımı yapılıp, çeşitli regresyon algoritmaları ile Erken doğum riski tahmin edilmiştir. Bu çalışmada, EHG sinyalleri ile erken doğum tespitinde kullanılan yöntemlerde SMOTE algoritması incelenmiş ve kıyaslaması yapılmıştır. Sonuç olarak tüm yöntemlerde SMOTE algoritmasının sonuca ulaşmada etkili olduğu görülmüştür. Bu çalışmada, en iyi sonuç CNN algoritması ile elde edilmiştir

Premature Birth Detection from EHG signals

Premature birth is one of the major problems worldwide. Different methods have been researched and used to detect preterm birth from past to present. The most commonly used ones are; The tocodynamometer device is Transvaginal Cervix Length, Bishop Score and ElectroHysteroGram (EHG) signal. Studies have shown that it is widely used in estimating the risk of preterm birth using EHG signals. In the studies, feature extraction was made from EHG signals and preterm birth risk was estimated with various regression algorithms. In this study, the SMOTE algorithm in the methods used in the detection of preterm birth with EHG signals was examined and compared. As a result, it has been seen that the SMOTE algorithm is effective in reaching the result in all methods. In this study, the best result was obtained with the CNN algorithm
