Objective:To validate Clinical Risk Index for Babies (CRIBII) score in predicting the mortality of preterm, VLBW babies and to study the correlation of risk factors with Clinical Risk Index for Babies (CRIB II) score
Methods:AProspective observational study was done in Preterm, VLBW neonates admitted in SNCU GGH Kurnool overa period of 1 year from November 2021 to December 2022 in 60 subjects.
Result:Out of 60 VLBW neonates, 38 (63.33%) were level 1 score, 15 (25.00%) were level 2 score, 6 (10.00%) were level 3, 1 (1.67%) were level 4 score. Out of 60VLBW babies, 38 (63.33%) were survived and 22 (36.67%) were expired.There is a strong,negative correlation between CRIB II score and birth weight of infants with p 0.001 andr=-0.79
Conclusion:The present study concludes that CRIB II score is effective in predicting the mortality in VLBW babies. Survival is more among babies in level 1 score.The more the CRIB II score, the less is the chance of survival.
