Which score best predicts breathing trouble in newborns?
NCT ID NCT07183956
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study compares two scoring systems—the Silverman-Andersen score and the Downes score—to see which better predicts when a newborn with breathing problems will need a breathing tube. Researchers will follow 220 preterm and term infants receiving noninvasive breathing support. The goal is to find a more reliable way to assess breathing distress and guide treatment decisions.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help doctors more accurately predict which newborns need a breathing tube, potentially reducing unnecessary intubations and improving outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It only compares existing scoring methods, so it won't directly change care. Results may not apply to all hospitals or newborn groups.
