摘要

A six-month prospective study assessed 94 preterm neonates using neonatal skin condition score (NSCS) at the site of peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (SpO2) probe attachment. Skin damage (NSCS > 3) occurred in 70.21% of neonates at least once. The severity of skin injury was associated with lower gestational age, lower birth weight, and poor outcomes.
