Popis: Background Scoring systems which quantify initial risks have an important role in aiding execution of optimum health services by predicting morbidity and mortality. One of these is the score for neonatal acute physiology perinatal extention (SNAPPE), developed by Richardson in 1993 and simplified in 2001. It is derived of 6 variables from the physical and laboratory observation within the first 12 hours of admission, and 3 variables of perinatal risks of mortality. Objectives To assess the validity of SNAPPE II in predicting mortality at neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), Soetomo Hospital, Surabaya. The study was also undertaken to evolve the best cut-off score for predicting mortality. Methods Eighty newborns were admitted during a four-month period and were evaluated with the investigations as required for the specifications of SNAPPE II. Neonates admitted >48 hours of age or after having been discharged, who were moved to lower newborn care
