Background: Critically ill newborns (NB) are susceptible to serious complications due to their immature immune system.

Objective: To know the prognostic utility of inflammatory indexes in critically ill NBs.

Material and methods: Observational, analytical, longitudinal, prospective study. We included NBs hospitalized, critically ill and non-critically ill, who had a complete blood count at 12 hours of life (initial) and within 24 hours prior to discharge due to improvement or death (final). Systemic immune-inflammatory Index (SII), Neutrophil/Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) and Platelets/Lymphocyte Ratio (PLR) were analyzed. There was follow-up from birth to discharge.

Results: 211 patients of 33 (32-34) weeks of gestation, weight 1.569 (1.480-1.720) kg. 106 critical NB and 105 non-critical NB, with 50 deaths in the former group, were analyzed. The final NLR ≥ 1.38 (sensitivity [S] 58%, specificity [Sp] 58%, AUC 0.60 [p 0.006]) identified critically ill NBs compared to non-critical ill NBs; final NLR ≥ 1.84 (S 71%, Sp 71%, AUC 0.79 [p < 0.0001]) identified critically ill NBs who died compared to all those who survived; final SII ≥ 255.411 x 103 (S 55%, Sp 56%, AUC 0.60 [p 0.047]) and final NLR ≥ 1.75 (S 76%, Sp 76%, AUC 0.84 [p < 0.0001]) identified critical NBs who died from those who survived.

Conclusion: The final NLR predicts which NBs may perish with respect to all who survive. The final NLR and SII predict among critically ill NBs who may die.
