Abstract
Assessing neonatal illness severity is an important issue in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) So, the standardized comparisons of outcomes are important to be performed across health care facilities
Illness severity scores were thus developed during 1993 four scoring systems for assessing neonatal mortality risk were introduced as follow: the national institutes of health neonatal network model, SNAP, SNAP-PE and CRIB. Then SNAP II and CRIB II were developed later in NICUs and introduced as robust indices of neonatal risk, to predict mortality and morbidity in newborns.
