Core Tip

Core Tip: Current diagnostic and therapeutic evaluation methods for neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) often cause physical harm to neonates. No studies have yet reported the predictive value of pulmonary ultrasonography scores for neonatal RDS. This study evaluated the relationship between changes in the pulmonary ultrasonography score and the respiratory distress score, oxygenation index, and chest X-ray stage before and after treatment of neonatal RDS. Receiver operating characteristic curves showed that the pulmonary ultrasonography score predicted neonatal RDS severity.
