The study was to determine the correlation of Perfusion Index (PI) and Clinical Risk Index for Babies (CRIB) score, in assessing the severity of illness in sick neonates.
This was a cross-sectional study conducted at a tertiary care Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). All eligible neonates, both term and preterm, admitted to the high-dependency unit of the NICU were included, after parental consent. Relevant details of history and examination were collected with a structured proforma. Severity of illness was assessed using CRIB score within 12 h of admission. PI was recorded within 24 h of admission, and babies were examined for the presence or absence of shock and their outcome was documented. The correlation coefficient between PI and CRIB score was derived.
A total of 200 eligible newborns were enrolled. The mean gestational age of the neonates was 34 weeks. The median [interquartile range (IQR)] CRIB score was 1.00 (0.00, 3.00), and PI was 1.400 (0.93, 2.30). The Spearman's rank correlation coefficient between PI and CRIB score was -0.41 with p value <0.05. The median PI of neonates with CRIB score ≤5, 6-10 and >10 was 1.50, 0.74, 0.67, respectively (p value <0.0001). The median (IQR) PI of babies with shock and without shock was 0.63 (0.43, 0.84) and 1.58 (1.19, 2.41), respectively, with p value <0.001.
PI has a negative correlation with CRIB score and can be used to assess the severity of illness in sick neonates.
本研究旨在探讨灌注指数(PI)与临床婴儿风险指数(CRIB)评分在评估患病新生儿严重程度方面的相关性。
这是一项在三级保健新生儿重症监护病房(NICU)进行的横断面研究。在获得家长同意后,纳入所有符合条件的入住 NICU 高依赖病房的足月和早产新生儿。使用结构化表格收集病史和检查的相关详细信息。入院 12 小时内采用 CRIB 评分评估疾病严重程度。入院 24 小时内记录 PI,检查婴儿是否存在休克,并记录其结局。得出 PI 与 CRIB 评分之间的相关系数。
共纳入 200 名符合条件的新生儿。新生儿的平均胎龄为 34 周。CRIB 评分中位数(四分位距)为 1.00(0.00,3.00),PI 为 1.400(0.93,2.30)。PI 与 CRIB 评分之间的 Spearman 秩相关系数为-0.41,p 值<0.05。CRIB 评分≤5、6-10 和>10 的新生儿的 PI 中位数(四分位距)分别为 1.50、0.74、0.67(p 值<0.0001)。有休克和无休克的婴儿的 PI 中位数(四分位距)分别为 0.63(0.43,0.84)和 1.58(1.19,2.41),p 值<0.001。
PI 与 CRIB 评分呈负相关,可用于评估患病新生儿的严重程度。
