title: Saturation oxygen pressure index for assessment of pulmonary disease in neonates on non-invasive ventilation.
abstract: This prospective observational study on 36 neonates aimed to estimate the correlation between the new Saturation Oxygen distending Pressure Index (SOPI) and Oxygenation index. SOPI had high correlation (r=0.94) with oxygenation index. SOPI of <2, 2, and 3.7 represented mild, moderate and severe pulmonary disease, respectively with high sensitivity and specificity.
