Neonatal death prediction scores: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To compare, through a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational accuracy studies, the main existing neonatal death prediction scores.

Method

Systematic review and meta-analysis of observational accuracy studies. The databases accessed were MEDLINE, ELSEVIER, LILACS, SciELO, OpenGrey, Open Access Thesis and Dissertations, EMBASE, Web of Science, SCOPUS and Cochrane Library. For qualitative analysis, Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies 2 was used. For the quantitative analysis, the area under the curve and the SE were used, as well as the inverse of the variance as a weight measure, DerSimonian and Laird as a measure of random effects, Higgins' I² as an estimate of heterogeneity, Z as a final measure with a 95% confidence level.
