Fair comparison of outcomes between NICUs requires adjustment for initial risk. Birth weight, gestational age, and other risk factors do not adequately account for baseline risk. Two measures of illness severity have been recently validated: these ar

Static respiratory system compliance (Crs) and lecithin/sphingomyelin (L/S) ratios in tracheal aspirates were estimated in two independent groups of mechanically ventilated infants. Crs was measured rapidly at the cotside using a passive expiratory f

We can learn what is achievable with current technologies by comparing our neonatal intensive care unit outcomes with others. Because neonatal intensive care units may vary with respect to their case-mix, risk adjustment is essential to making fair c

Physiology-based illness severity scores are proving their value through a wide variety of practical applications. The theoretical disadvantages noted in Table 1 have not turned out to be major problems, whereas the advantages have been quite real. N

Intact phagocyte function is a pre-requisite for successful defence against infection, but paradoxically, these cells may also play a major role in the pathogenesis of the infant respiratory distress syndrome. Phagocyte function is known to be defici

Phagocytes are an essential defence against infection. Since drugs which affect their function may alter the outcome of infections, we have studied the effect of nine antibiotics on phagocyte function in vitro. The effects of antibiotics on the respi

A randomised trial was conducted in 82 centres using the porcine surfactant extract, Curosurf, to compare two regimens of multiple doses to treat infants with respiratory distress syndrome and arterial to alveolar oxygen tension ratio < 0.22. Infants
