RESUMEN
The neonatal critical illness scoring system is widely used to assess the severity of neonatal disease, serious complications, neonatal mortality risk, long-term prognosis, and guide transport.At present, the scores widely used at home and abroad include clinical risk index for babies(CRIB), clinical risk index for babies Ⅱ(CRIB-Ⅱ), score for neonatal acute physiology(SNAP), score for neonatal acute physiology Ⅱ(SNAP-Ⅱ), score for neonatal acute physiology, perinatal extension, version Ⅱ(SNAPPE-Ⅱ), and neonatal critical illness score(NCIS), etc.Although there are many neonatal critical illness scoring systems, there is no recognized and ideal score, the most suitable score for assessing the severity of neonatal disease.This paper reviews the application and research progress of the three scoring systems SNAP-Ⅱ, SNAPPE-Ⅱ and NCIS.
