Reference Interval for Pulse Oxygen Saturation in Neonates at Different Altitudes: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: The reference interval for pulse oxygen saturation (SpO₂) in neonates born at high altitudes has not been defined to date. The purpose of this study was to systematically review published studies and determine the reference interval of SpO₂ in neonates at different altitudes. Methods: Databases of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Clinicaltrials.Gov, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure Database, Wanfang Database, Chinese Science Technology Journals Database, and Chinese Clinical Trial Registry were searched for studies reporting SpO₂ in healthy neonates at different altitudes. Retrieval time was from inception of the database to August 16, 2021. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality checklist was used to evaluate t
