Causal machine learning models for predicting low birth weight in midwife-led continuity care intervention in North Shoa Zone, Ethiopia

Abstract Background Low birth weight (LBW) is a critical global health issue that affects infants disproportionately, particularly in developing countries.This study adopted causal machine learning (CML) algorithms for predicting LBW in newborns, drawing from midwife-led continuity care (MLCC).Methods A quasi-experimental study was carried out in t
