description Objective: To test the potential utility of applying machine learning methods to regional cerebral (rcSO<sub>2</sub>) and peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO<sub>2</sub>) signals to detect brain injury in extremely preterm infants. Study design: A subset of infants enrolled in the Management of Hypotension in Preterm infants (HIP) trial were analysed (<i>n</i> = 46). All eligible infants were <28 weeks’ gestational age and had continuous rcSO<sub>2</sub> measurements performed over the first 72 h and cranial ultrasounds performed during the first week after birth. SpO<sub>2</sub> data were available for 32 infants. The rcSO<sub>2</sub> and SpO<sub>2</sub> signals were preprocessed, and prolonged relative desaturations (PRDs; data-driven desaturation in the 2-to-15-min range) were extracted. Numerous quantitative features were extracted from the biosignals before and after the exclusion of the PRDs within the signals. PRDs were also evaluated as a stand-alone feature. A machine learning model was used to detect brain injury (intraventricular haemorrhage-IVH grade II–IV) using a leave-one-out cross-validation approach. Results: The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) for the PRD rcSO<sub>2</sub> was 0.846 (95% CI: 0.720–0.948), outperforming the rcSO<sub>2</sub> threshold approach (AUC 0.593 95% CI 0.399–0.775). Neither the clinical model nor any of the SpO<sub>2</sub> models were significantly associated with brain injury. Conclusion: There was a significant association between the data-driven definition of PRDs in rcSO<sub>2</sub> and brain injury. Automated analysis of PRDs of the cerebral NIRS signal in extremely preterm infants may aid in better prediction of IVH compared with a threshold-based approach. Further investigation of the definition of the extracted PRDs and an understanding of the physiology underlying these events are required.
