Key Points

  • This research aims to investigate the relationship between skin maturity and pulmonary complications in premature infants.
  • Conducted a cross-sectional study on premature infants.
  • Assessed skin reflectance to evaluate skin maturity.
  • Analyzed the correlation between skin maturity and respiratory complications.
  • Skin reflectance showed potential as a rapid screening tool.
  • Infants with pulmonary complications exhibited decreased skin maturity early after birth.

Abstract

These findings suggest skin reflectance may serve as a rapid, objective, and non?invasive screening tool for neonatal respiratory risk.
