Assessment of the prognostic value of fatal risk on premature neonate underweight children admitted to the Department of resuscitation of Hospital II of Pediatrics in 2000-2002 year, using CRIB score scale

ABSTRACT

The study conducted on 58 premature neonate underweight infants at the Department of Resuscitation of the Pediatric Hospital N02 from Febuary 2000 to December 2002 had showed a high mortality of 74.1%. 100% of premature neonate underweight infants under 850g at birth died. The died infant had lower weight at birth, mean arterial blood pH was lower, mean arterial blood PaCO2 was higher. CRIB score had prognostic value to predict the mortality of premature neonate underweight infants using ROC curb and the undercurb superficial zone
