Description

From the Score for Neonatal Acute Physiology (SNAP) and data included in the Perinatal Extension, it is possible to calculate the expected mortality risk for neonates in the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit).


 

logit =

= -14.6889 +

(8.6774 * (1/ (birthweight in kilograms))) +

(1.4414 * (1 if Apgar at 5 minutes < 7, 0 if Apgar >= 7) +

(1.0898 * (1 if <5th% for gestational age, 0 if >= 5th% for gestational age) +

(0.7422 * (SNAP) * (1 if SNAP <= 15, 0 if SNAP > 15)) +

(0.6251 * (SNAP) * (1 if SNAP >= 16 and <=20, 0 if SNAP < 16 or > 20)) +

(0.4674 * (SNAP) * (1 if SNAP >= 21 and <=27, 0 if SNAP < 21 or > 27)) +

(0.4073 * (SNAP) * (1 if SNAP >= 28, 0 if SNAP < 28 )) -

(0.5429 * (SNAP/birthweight) * (1 if SNAP <= 15, 0 if SNAP > 15)) -

(0.4088 * (SNAP/birthweight) * (1 if SNAP >= 16 and <=20, 0 if SNAP < 16 or > 20)) -

(0.2809 * (SNAP/birthweight) * (1 if SNAP >= 21 and <=27, 0 if SNAP < 21 or > 27)) -

(0.2399 * (SNAP/birthweight) * (1 if SNAP >= 28, 0 if SNAP < 28 ))

 

risk of mortality =

= EXP(logit) / (1 + EXP(logit))

 

chance for survival =

= 1 - (risk of mortality)
