Abstract: Antecedentes: Alrededor de 32% de los recién nacidos prematuros presenta síndrome de dificultad respiratoria -SDR- y continúa siendo la primera causa de morbilidad en estos pacientes. Su manejo involucra gran consumo de recursos y se relaciona con alta morbilidad por complicaciones y secuelas en el periodo neonatal. En Colombia no se dispone de un registro de costos de atención de esta entidad. Este estudio pretende una primera aproximación a la determinación de costos médicos directos del tratamiento hospitalario del SDR.
