About this trial
This study aimed to compare the Silverman-Andersen score and the Downes score in predicting noninvasive ventilation (NIPPV) failure in preterm and term infants who received NIPPV support due to postnatal respiratory distress, as well as to evaluate the agreement of these scoring systems with other methods used to assess the severity of respiratory distress.
The present study was designed as a prospective, multicenter, observational study conducted with neonates undergoing noninvasive ventilation.
