Introduction and Hypothesis

This study aims to develop a postpartum stress urinary incontinence (PPSUI) risk prediction model based on an updated definition of PPSUI, using machine learning algorithms. The goal is to identify the best model for early clinical screening to improve screening accuracy and optimize clinical management strategies.

Methods

This prospective study collected data from 1208 postpartum women, with the dataset randomly divided into training and testing sets (8:2). Five machine learning algorithms—logistic regression, decision trees, random forests, support vector machines (SVM), and eXtreme gradient boosting (XGBoost)—were used to construct the PPSUI risk prediction model. Model performance was evaluated using multiple metrics, and the best-performing model was selected and validated for generalizability with the testing set.

Results

The final model retained ten features: birth weight, weight gain during pregnancy, BMI before delivery, pre-pregnancy BMI, age of delivery, gestation, parity, pre-delivery uterine height, age of first delivery, and labor analgesia. Among the five algorithms, the random forest model performed best, with a test AUC of 0.995 (95% CI 0.990–0.999, P < 0.05), accuracy of 0.956, precision of 0.957, recall of 0.944, specificity of 0.966, and F1 score of 0.951. The model’s high generalizability was confirmed with the testing set and further validated through bootstrapping and tenfold cross-validation.

Conclusion

The random forest model shows strong clinical potential for PPSUI risk prediction and early screening. Future studies should expand the sample size and include multi-center data to further enhance the model’s clinical applicability.
