Abstract

Background The assesment of severity of illness with scoringsystem has been used to predict neonatal mortality in neonatalintensive care unit (NICU). Score for Neonatal Acute PhysiologyPerinatal Extension II (SNAPPE II) is the best scoring systemalthough most of the studies were commonly conducted indeveloped countries.Objective To evaluate SNAPPE II as the predictor of neonatalmortality in NICU Hasan Sadikin General Hospital (HSGH)Ban dung.Methods This was a longitudinal observational study. All neonateshospitalized in NICU HSGH during the period of August toNovember 2008 were investigated according to SNAPPE IIrequirements. We excluded subjects admitted more than 48hours of age, who were discharged or moved to intermediatenewborn care ward less than 24 hours after admission. Predictionof mortality and determination of SNAPPE II cut-off point wereanalyzed using logistic regression. Discrimination was analyzedusing receiver operating characteristic (ROC) and calibration wasanalyzed using Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit.Results Forty subjects fulfilled the inclusion criteria. There was agood relation between SNAPPE II and mortality prediction (P =0.007). The cut-off point for predicting mortality was 51. SNAPPEII showed good discrimination with AUC 0.933 (95% CI 0.843to 1.0) and good calibration 1.69 (P = 0.97).Conclusion SNAPPE II can be used to predict neonatal mortalityin NICU similar to that found in developed countries.

Abstract

Background The use of a peripherally-inserted central catheter (PICC) has increased in preterm neonates to facilitate the administration of total parenteral nutrition. Standard radiography (thoracoabdominal X-ray) is the gold standard for determining the position of the PICC tip. However, radiography is not always accurate, influenced by the position of the extremities and anatomic variations, time-consuming procedural process, involves radiation, and is costly. Ultrasonography (USG) may serve as an easier, safer, less costly, and more real-time alternative in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) patients. Objective To assess the accuracy of USG use in determining PICC tip position compared to that of standard radiography. Methods This diagnostic study was conducted in the NICU at Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta. The PICCs were placed using standard NICU procedure, then the tip position was evaluated using the USG immediately before standard radiography was performed. A 2x2 table was constructed to compare the diagnostic accuracy of the two modalities. Results A total of 29 neonates were included in our study. Subjects’ mean gestational age and weight were 31.7 weeks and 1,618.9 g respectively. Concordance of PICC tip positioning between standard radiography and USG occurred in 27 neonates (93.1%). USG had 88.89% sensitivity, 95% specificity, and 93.1% diagnostic accuracy. Conclusion USG has excellent diagnostic accuracy for confirmation of the PICC tip position.
