Multicenter Study
[New Apgar score? A multi-centre study dealing with the evaluation of the neonate NEOMOD scoring system for the first day of life].
To compare the predictive accuracy of the NEOMOD score and the Apgar score as concerns prediction of mortality and affection of the central nervous system (CNS) in neonates. ⋯ The NEOMOD system proved a high accuracy in the prediction of neonatal mortality in a group of patients with a gestation age > or =35 weeks of pregnancy. The predictive accuracy of NEOMOD was higher than that of the Apgar score. The predictive accuracy of both the NEOMOD and Apgar scores for affection of CNS in the neonatal period was low.
