Evaluation of the neonatal sequential organ failure assessment and mortality risk in neonates with respiratory distress syndrome: A retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is one of the leading causes of neonatal death in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Previous studies have suggested that the development of neonatal RDS may be associated with inflammation and lead to organ dysfunction. The neonatal sequential organ failure assessment (nSOFA) scoring system is an operational definition of organ dysfunction, but whether it can be used to predict mortality in neonates RDS is unknown. The aim of this study was to clarify the performance of the nSOFA score in predicting mortality in patients with neonatal RDS, with the aim of broadening the clinical application of the nSOFA score.

Methods

Neonates with RDS were identified from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC)-III databa
