Comparative Performance of Four Established Neonatal Disease Scoring Systems in Predicting In-Hospital Mortality and the Potential Role of Thromboelastometry

Background: To compare the prognostic accuracy of the most commonly used indexes of mortality over time and evaluate the potential of adding thromboelastometry (ROTEM) results to these well-established clinical scores. Methods: The study population consisted of 473 consecutive term and preterm criti...

Methods: The study population consisted of 473 consecutive term and preterm critically-ill neonates. On the first day of critical illness, modified Neonatal Multiple Organ Dysfunction (NEOMOD) scoring system, Score for Neonatal Acute Physiology (SNAP II), Perinatal extension of SNAP (SNAPPE), and SNAPPE II, were calculated and ROTEM standard extrinsically activated (EXTEM) assay was performed simultaneously.
