A nomogram for predicting death for infants born at a gestational age of <28 weeks: a population-based analysis in 18 neonatal intensive care units in northern China.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In China, the number of preterm infants is the second largest globally. Compared with those in developed countries, the mortality rate and proportion of treatment abandonment for extremely preterm infants (EPIs) are higher in China. It would be valuable to conduct a multicenter study and develop predictive models for the mortality risk. This study aimed to identify a predictive model among EPIs who received complete care in northern China in recent years.

Methods

This study included EPIs admitted to eighteen neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) within 72 hours of birth for receiving complete care in northern China between January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2018. Infants were randomly assigned into a training dataset and validation dataset with a ratio of 7:3. Univ
