🚨
Do not delay stabilization of airway, breathing and circulation for scoring.
If the newborn is unstable, begin emergency management immediately.

Privacy: All data is stored locally on this device only. No patient information is transmitted to any server. Baby ID, Mother's Name, and Admission Number are used only on-screen for bedside record matching — every export (CSV, JSON, WhatsApp, Copy, Print, Dashboard) uses a de-identified Study ID instead and never contains these identifiers.

Clinical Disclaimer: This tool supports — but does not replace — clinical judgement. Downe's Score must be interpreted in context by a qualified clinician. Always use alongside local neonatal protocols. Reference: Downes JJ et al.

Research Applications
Primary Research Questions
  • Burden of neonatal respiratory distress at AMC/KGH
  • Severity distribution by gestational age and birth weight category
  • Association of Downe's Score with respiratory support requirement
  • Comparison of TTN / RDS / MAS / Pneumonia respiratory severity
  • Correlation of SpO₂ with clinical Downe's Score
  • Inborn vs outborn respiratory distress severity comparison
  • Predictive value of Downe's Score for CPAP / ventilation need
  • CPAP failure prediction using serial Downe's Score trend
  • Surfactant response assessment using pre/post score change
  • Escalation to mechanical ventilation: score and clinical predictors
  • Serial respiratory distress trends by assessment context
  • Mortality and discharge outcome correlations with severity
Dataset Pooling — Cross-tool Compatibility
Downe's Score Research records share the following common variables with Silverman-Anderson Score Research, APGAR Research, CRIB-II Research, and SNAPPE-II Research for pooled neonatal analysis:
study_id ga_weeks birth_weight_g respiratory_support spo2 severity_category created_timestamp
Planned Linkage Tools
Future versions will support record linkage with:
🔗 Silverman-Anderson Score Research  |  🔗 APGAR Serial Score Research  |  🔗 CRIB-II Research  |  🔗 SNAPPE-II Research
📤
Export & Version
All exported CSV files include downes_research_version = v2.0 and export_timestamp for audit trail.
