This study aims to assess the changes in organ dysfunction in extremely preterm infants from birth to death or discharge using the neonatal sequential organ failure assessment score. The results show that the score can discriminate between survival and nonsurvival on the first day of life and is directly associated with major adverse outcomes.
Rationale: Use of severity of illness scores to classify patients for clinical care and research is common outside of the neonatal ICU. Extremely premature (<29 weeks' gestation) infants with extremely low birth weight (<1,000 g) experience significant mortality and develop severe pathology during the protracted birth hospitalization. Objectives: To measure at high resolution the changes in organ dysfunction that occur from birth to death or discharge home by gestational age and time, and among extremely preterm infants with and without clinically meaningful outcomes using the neonatal sequential organ failure assessment score. Methods: A single-center, retrospective, observational cohort study of inborn, extremely preterm infants with extremely low birth weight admitted between January 2012 and January 2020. Neonatal sequential organ failure assessment scores were calculated every hour for every patient from admission until death or discharge. Measurements and Main Results: Longitudinal, granular scores from 436 infants demonstrated early and sustained discrimination of those who died versus those who survived to discharge. The discrimination for mortality by the maximum score was excellent (area under curve, 0.91; 95% confidence intervals, 0.88-0.94). Among survivors with and without adverse outcomes, most score variation occurred at the patient level. The weekly average score over the first 28 days was associated with the sum of adverse outcomes at discharge. Conclusions: The neonatal sequential organ failure assessment score discriminates between survival and nonsurvival on the first day of life. The major contributor to score variation occurred at the patient level. There was a direct association between scores and major adverse outcomes, including death.
