Predictive value of the combined application of multiple critical illness scoring systems in neonatal respiratory distress syndrome.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: As a severe complication in premature birth, neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS) significantly threatens the health and life of the neonate. Therefore, the early identification of the severity and mortality risk of NRDS is considered crucial. This study aimed to compare the predictive roles of the neonatal critical illness score (NCIS), the Score for Neonatal Acute Physiology-II (SNAP-II), and the Score for Neonatal Acute Physiology with Perinatal Extension-II (SNAPPE-II) in predicting comorbidities and mortality in NRDS infants. Methods: A total of 192 infants diagnosed with NRDS at the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of the Children's Hospital of Soochow University between January 2019 and August 2020 were included. Based on discharge outcomes, they were divided into the survival and mortality groups, as well as the complication group and non-complication group. The individual or combination of the NCIS, SNAP-II, and SNAPPE-II scoring systems were applied to evaluate the survival and comorbidities in all infants. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were generated to compare the area under the curve (AUC) values. Results: All the three scoring systems exhibited good efficacy in predicting mortality among NRDS infants, with NCIS showing superior performance compared to SNAPPE-II, which was more effective than SNAP-II (P<0.001). The predictive efficacy of the three scoring systems was enhanced when combined in pairs or collectively, with the combination of NCIS and SNAPPE-II exhibiting the highest predictive performance (P<0.001). The three scoring systems were significantly effective in predicting the risk of comorbidities in NRDS (P<0.001). Conclusions: The NCIS, SNAP-II, and SNAPPE-II scoring systems demonstrate good predictive value for assessing the condition and prognosis of NRDS infants. The combination of NCIS with SNAP-II and SNAPPE-II exhibits high predictive efficacy for estimating mortality in NRDS.
