A retrospective study was conducted in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) of a tertiary care hospital in northern India to profile neonatal admissions and to assess the validity of the Score for Neonatal Acute Physiology (SNAP) in predicting the outcome in terms of mortality and length of hospital stay (LOS). Neonatal sepsis (51%) and birth asphyxia (11.2%) were the commonest indications for admission. Thirty-seven (38.1%) of the neonates died. The mean SNAP score in babies who died was 18.8 +/- 9.8 and 10.1 +/- 6.4 in survivors (P<0.001). There was no correlation between SNAP score and mean length of stay in hospital (P=0.5). We conclude that SNAP correlates well with mortality in neonates admitted to the PICU.
在印度北部一家三级护理医院的儿科重症监护病房（PICU）进行了一项回顾性研究，以分析新生儿入院情况，并评估新生儿急性生理学评分（SNAP）在预测死亡率和住院时间（LOS）方面结果的有效性。新生儿败血症（51%）和出生窒息（11.2%）是最常见的入院指征。37名（38.1%）新生儿死亡。死亡婴儿的平均SNAP评分为18.8±9.8，存活婴儿为10.1±6.4（P<0.001）。SNAP评分与平均住院时间之间无相关性（P=0.5）。我们得出结论，SNAP与入住PICU的新生儿死亡率密切相关。
