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

Although the four existing indexes considered showed good to excellent prognostic capacity, modified NEOMOD and SNAPPE scores performed significantly better. Though larger studies are needed, adding A10 to well-established neonatal severity scores not including biomarkers of coagulopathy might improve their prediction of in-hospital mortality.
