Open dataset and deep learning model for intelligent diagnosis of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome and aspiration syndrome in newborns.
An open-source AI tool accurately distinguishes two neonatal respiratory emergencies requiring opposite treatments, aiding rapid diagnosis in time-pressured settings.
This study constructs the first open Chinese neonatal chest X-ray dataset with annotated cases of respiratory distress syndrome and aspiration syndrome, and validates a deep learning diagnostic model for distinguishing these two conditions that require different immediate management. The publicly available dataset and validated model provide a foundation for AI-assisted neonatal respiratory diagnosis in time-pressured neonatal ICU settings.
