Abstract: Objective: Predictive models for preterm infant mortality have been developed internationally, albeit not valid for all populations. This study aimed to develop and validate different mortality predictive models, using Spanish data, to be applicable to centers with similar morbidity and mortality. Methods: Infants born alive, admitted to NICU (BW 30 days of life, respectively. During validation, models 1 and 2 showed moderate concordance, whilst that of model 3 was good. Conclusion: Using dynamic models to predict individual mortality can improve outcome estimations. Development of models in the prenatal period, first 24 hours, and during hospital admission, cover key stages of mortality prediction in preterm infants.
