Grass B, Ye XY, Kelly E, et al. - Researchers conducted this retrospective cohort study to explore the connection between mortality or neurodevelopmental impairment at 18-24 months of corrected age and the Transport Risk Index of Physiologic Stability (TRIPS) score on admission to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) in extremely premature infants. The sample consisted of extremely premature infants (inborn and outborn) born at 22-28 weeks of gestational age and admitted to NICUs in the Canadian Neonatal Network between April 2009 and September 2011. In total, 1,686 eligible infants have been involved. Early after their admission to the NICU, the TRIPS score on admission to the NICU can be used as an adjunctive, objective tool for advising parents of extremely premature infants.
