ASSESSMENT SCALES - THEIR ROLE IN THE EARLY RECOGNITION AND EVALUATION OF NEONATAL DISEASES

Abstract

During the treatment of sick newborns, medical staff may be assisted by rating scales, which facilitate the early identification of various medical conditions and the evaluation of the child‘s state of health. Regular use of assessment scales in the clinical environment influences standardised care, prevents short-term and long-term consequences of the disease, and thus affects the quality of treatment and disease outcomes.
