About

Respiratory distress in term and late preterm infants in the first hour after birth is a prevalent condition. This situation may occur due to different reasons such as minimal respiratory stress, transient tachypnea of newborn, respiratory distress syndrome, and congenital pneumonia. It can be not easy to distinguish this in the first hours. This study aimed to investigate the place of the lung ultrasonography score in the prognosis of these patients.
