- 5. STUDY JUSTIFICATION Theout born babies generally have a poor outcome when compared to inborn babies. I had considered to conduct a study on outborn babies, to identify at risk babies by using a scoring system Since the mortality of the neonates also depends on physiological status of the neonate before reaching the referral centre, trained neonatal staff will do a pre transport TOPS . The pre transport TOPS will be compared with the post transport TOPS which will be done after reaching the referral centre by the NICU residents , if there is a positive difference, it indeed helps us to know the role played by the neonatal transport team in stabilising the physiological status of the newborn.
