Predictive score for clinical complications during intra-hospital transports of infants treated in a neonatal unit.

Objective: To develop and validate a predictive score for clinical complications during intra-hospital transport of infants treated in neonatal units.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study nested in a prospective cohort of infants transported within a public university hospital from January 2001 to December 2008. Transports during even (n=301) and odd (n = 394) years were compared to develop and validate a predictive score.

Factors associated with clinical complications during intra-hospital transports in a neonatal unit in Brazil.

Objective: Analyze factors associated with clinical complications during intra-hospital transport of neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) patients.

Methods: Prospective study of 641 infants submitted to 1197 intra-hospital transports at a public university NICU. Factors associated with clinical complications during intra-hospital transports were studied by multiple logistic regression analysis.
