Early prediction of neonatal chronic lung disease: A comparison of three scoring methods

Scoring Method for Early Prediction of Neonatal Chronic Lung Disease Using Modified Respiratory Parameters

“…When we forcibly tried to adopt the respiratory failure score (Yoder model) to our patients, we found that predictive values in both models were still remained lower than 60% even if we included our patients who died within 36 weeks of corrected age into CLD group. Those results were much different from Yoder's one (12), which showed 75% of positive predictive values at 72 hr of life. It may partly be due to discrepancy in prevalence of CLD between the two different studies.…”

Biomarkers, Early Diagnosis, and Clinical Predictors of Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia

“…A scoring method was developed using clinical data and modified respiratory variables to predict CLD on postnatal days 4, 7, and 10. 23 The primary outcome variable for this study was CLD diagnosed at 36 weeks of corrected age, and AUCs obtained (0.92 on day 4 to 0.95 on day 10) were comparable to those obtained by the Yoder et al 12 model.…”

Increase of interleukin-6 in tracheal aspirate at birth: A predictor of subsequent bronchopulmonary dysplasia in preterm infants

“…However, the positive predictive value of an IL-6 level in TA of ]/316 pg/ml was as low as 58%, although it is better than the presence of premature rupture of membranes, which is a rough but readily available clinical indicator of inflammation, and elevated cord plasma and amniotic fluid IL-6 concentration measured in our previous studies [9,10]. Furthermore, the combination of the presence of symptomatic PDA and IL-6 TA at birth of ]/316 pg/ml enhanced the positive predictive value to 82%, which is better than the radiographic scoring system assessed on the 28th day of life designed by Greenough et al [28] and comparable to the clinical scoring system assessed at 72 h after birth designed by Yoder et al [29]. In the present study, all symptomatic PDA cases were early-onset documented by echocardiography within the first week of life.…”
