The predictive value of newborn and infant lung ultrasound score for mechanical ventilation needs: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To investigate the predictive value of neonatal and infant lung ultrasound scores for the need for mechanical ventilation through meta-analysis.

Methods

Literature up to October 1, 2024, on neonatal and infant lung ultrasound scores and mechanical ventilation was searched in PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and The Cochrane Library databases. The diagnostic accuracy of the included studies was evaluated using the Quality Assessment tool for Diagnostic Accuracy Studies. Revman5.4 and StataSE-64 software were employed to calculate the pooled sensitivity, specificity and AUC value of neonatal and infant lung ultrasound scores for predicting the need of mechanical ventilation.

Results

The meta-analysis comprised 9 studies (7 prospective studies and 2 retrospectiv
