A Refined Score, Namely Thoracic Ultrasound Score, to Predict the Need for Surfactant in Preterm Neonates: A Prospective, Multicenter, Observational Study
Compared to LUS, TUS showed a similar association with the oxygenation status and a superior ability to predict the need for surfactant in neonates with GA ≥ 34 weeks. The latter was similar in neonates with GA < 34 weeks.
