ABSTRACT

Neonatal illness severity score is a scoring system for assessing severity of illness,predicting mortality and guiding clinical work in neonatal intensive care units.It plays an important role in the progressive development of neonatology.This article introduces and compares several illness severity scores commonly used in the world.Compared with score for neonatal acute physiology ( SNAP),score for neonatal acute physiology perinatal extension(SNAPPE) and our country's neonatal illness severity score,cinical risk index for Babies ( CRIB ),score for neonatal acute physiology version Ⅱ ( SNAP-Ⅱ),simplified version of the score for neonatal acute physiology (SNAPPE-Ⅱ) and clinical risk index for babies-revised (CRIB-Ⅱ) simplify the variables,weight the items scientifically,cost less time and predict the motality risk reliably.In conclusion,CRIB,SNAP-Ⅱ,SNAPPE-Ⅱ and CRIB-Ⅱ have better practicability and need to be promoted.
