The complex high acuity-patient population seen in tertiary NICU's located in major children's hospitals across the nation is a unique predominately referral population, not seen in most NICU's...

In this study, we will analyze the available NICU data to determine the predictive value of a Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD) scoring system. Later, we will determine a threshold score at which an...
