AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the Clinical Risk Index for Babies (CRIB score) in predicting neonatal mortality in extremely preterm infants, comparing it to birth weight and gestational age.
- The research included 97 preterm neonates with either a gestational age of less than 31 weeks or a birth weight of 1500 grams or less, and utilized a logistic model to analyze mortality predictions based on these factors.
- The findings indicated that the CRIB score did not significantly outperform birth weight or gestational age in predicting neonatal mortality, with similar performance metrics observed for all three factors.
Article Abstract
Objective: To assess the usefulness of clinical risk index of babies (CRIB score) in predicting neonatal mortality in extremely preterm neonates, compared to birth weight and gestation.
Methods: 97 preterm neonates with gestational age less than 31 weeks or birth weight less than or equal to 1500 g were enrolled for the prospective longitudinal study. Relevant neonatal data was recorded. Blood gas analysis results and the maximum and the minimum FiO2 required by babies in first 12 hours of life were noted. Mortality was taken as death while the baby was in nursery. The prediction of mortality by birth weight, gestational age and CRIB score was done using the Logistic model, and expressed as area under the ROC curve.
Results: The area under the ROC curve for birth weight, gestational age and CRIB score was almost the same, the areas being 0.829, 0.819 and 0.823 respectively. Hence CRIB score did not fare better than birth weight and gestational age in predicting neonatal mortality.
Conclusion: The CRIB score did not improve on the ability of birth weight and gestational age to predict neonatal mortality in the study.

Background: Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) causes systemic inflammation during pediatric cardiac surgery, which can contribute to post-operative organ dysfunction and prolonged recovery. This study aims to identify key inflammatory mediators related to this clinically significant immunologic response.
Methods: Pediatric patients were enrolled in a single-arm prospective clinical study (NCT05154864) and received standard cardiac operation, CPB and subzero-balance ultrafiltration.
Hour of Life at Enteral Feeding Initiation and Associated Clinical Morbidity in Extremely Low-Birth-Weight Infants.

Background/objectives: Identifying nutritional interventions in extremely low-birth-weight (ELBW) infants (<1000 g) that are associated with favorable clinical outcomes is important. Delayed enteral feeding initiation (>3 days) has been associated with increased odds of developing morbidity. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between hour of life at enteral feeding initiation and associated clinical outcomes.

Background: Intraductal carcinoma (IDC) and cribriform pattern (Crib) of prostate cancer are recognised as independent prognosticators of poor outcome, both in prostate biopsies and radical prostatectomy (RP) specimens.
Objective: This study aimed to determine the predictive value of Free-to-total PSA ratio (FPSAR) in identifying missed IDC/Crib at the time of biopsy as compared to the final surgical specimen.
Materials And Methods: Patients who underwent RP between January 2015 and December 2022 were included in the study.

Background: Infective endocarditis is a life-threatening disease with diverse clinical presentations, making diagnosis challenging and requiring a range of complementary tests. The level of suspicion, based on clinical judgment, guides decisions regarding the initiation of empirical treatment and the selection of appropriate diagnostic tools. This study aimed to develop and validate the EndoPredict-Dx score for early prediction of infective endocarditis diagnosis.

Background: Neonatal illness severity scores are not extensively studied for their ability to predict mortality or morbidity in preterm infants. The aim of this study was to compare the Neonatal Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (nSOFA), Clinical Risk Index for Babies-II (CRIB-II), and Score for Neonatal Acute Physiology with Perinatal extension-II (SNAPPE-II) for predicting mortality and short-term morbidities in preterm infants ≤32 weeks.
Methods: In this retrospective study, infants born in 2017-2018 with gestational age (GA) ≤32 weeks were evaluated.
