A scoring system to characterize the pre-term infant's chest radiograph appearance has been evaluated. Chest radiographs taken at 1 month of age in 20 infants (median gestational age 27 weeks) were scored according to abnormalities of lung volume, presence of opacification, interstitial changes and cystic elements (maximum score 17). The median score was 4 (range 1-14); the highest scores were for the only infants with cystic elements and/or interstitial changes on their chest radiographs. The scoring system documented accurately the severity of neonatal respiratory distress; the highest scores occurred in those infants requiring the most prolonged respiratory support, i.e. ventilated beyond 1 week of age (p less than 0.01) and oxygen-dependent beyond 1 month (p less than 0.01). It was also a useful predictor of chronic respiratory problems, with an 88% sensitivity in the detection of infants with the most severe lung function abnormalities at 6 months of age.
