nSOFA scores predict prolonged mechanical ventilation in neonatal respiratory distress syndrome: a retrospective cohort study

The nSOFA score is an independent risk factor for prolonged MV in NRDS infants, with moderate predictive ability. Its simplicity and effectiveness make it a valuable tool for early risk stratification in NICUs. Future multicenter studies are needed to validate these findings and explore the potential of dynamic nSOFA monitoring in improving predictive accuracy.
