Factores de riesgo en la mortalidad de los recién nacidos de muy bajo peso con membrana hialina

Higher birth weight and Apgar score at 5 minutes, prenatal corticoid and surfactant administration, and a lower degree of respiratory distress syndrome reduce mortality. The logistic regression model used quantifies how these factors behave and allows the probability of mortality in VLBW infants with respiratory distress syndrome to be estimated.
