The neonatal assessment manual score (NAME) for improving the clinical management of infants: a perspective validity study

Table 4 Preliminary results for the NAME categorical score (Kendall’s τ correlation and ordinal logistic regression)

	Kendall’s τ (CI 95%)	p-value	OR (CI 95%)	p-value
Gestational age^a	0.38 (0.20, 0.53)	0.002	1.30 (1.10, 1.57)	0.004
Birth weight^b	0.45 (0.28, 0.59)	< 0.001	1.14 (1.06, 1.24)	0.001
Post-menstrual age at assessment^a	0.28 (0.10, 0.45)	0.018	1.24 (1.04, 1.52)	0.023
Weight at assessment^b	0.31 (0.13, 0.47)	0.006	1.11 (1.03, 1.21)	0.010
Complexity index^c	−0.31 (− 0.47, − 0.12)	0.016	0.56 (0.32, 0.94)	0.034

^a Gestational age and age at assessment were measured in weeks
^b Birth weight and weight at assessment were measured in hectograms
^c Complexity index was calculated as the number of complications (e.g., surgery, intrauterine growth restriction) and organs/systems affected by pathologies
