Popis: Background: Selecting the correct ventilation strategy is crucial for the survival of preterm infants with dyspnea in NICU. Lung ultrasound score (LUSsc) is a potential predictor for respiratory support patterns in preterm infants. Methods: We prospectively included 857 preterm infants. LUS was performed in the first 2 h after admission, and LUSsc was determined by two specialist sonographers. Participants were divided into two categories according to gestational age ( 0.05) for preterm 32+0–36+6 weeks (Kappa value 0.779, P 0.05). Conclusion: The LUSsc showed good reliability in predicting respiratory support mode for preterm infants with dyspnea.Registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (identifier: chiCTR1900023869).
