[Utility of a physiologic stability index based on Transport Risk Index of Physiologic Stability (TRIPS) for the evaluation of infants transferred to a specialized hospital].

Background: Neonatal mortality is a public health priority. We review the physiological instability of the newborn after a transfer, which contributes to increased neonatal mortality. The objective of this work was to determine whether the Transport Risk Index of Physiologic Stability (TRIPS) in newborns transferred to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of a secondary hospital serves as a predictor of early neonatal mortality.
