CRIB II (Clinical Risk Index for Babies II)
The CRIB II (Clinical Risk Index for Babies II) score is a validated risk-adjustment tool designed for use in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) to predict mortality risk in preterm or very low birth weight (VLBW) newborns, specifically those born at <32 weeks gestation or weighing ≤1500 grams. It provides a standardized, objective method to assess illness severity and mortality risk within the first hour of NICU admission, aiding clinicians in risk stratification, quality assessment, and research.
