Predicting neonatal respiratory distress syndrome in late preterm infants
Models based on prenatal maternal and fetal characteristics demonstrated modest discrimination but strong negative predictive value for identifying RDS in late preterm infants. Such tools may assist with antenatal counseling and support decisions regarding the appropriate level-of-care setting for delivery. Further studies are needed to validate these findings and to explore whether incorporating additional clinical variables can enhance predictive performance.
