Background: Neonatal deaths, especially among the Low Birth Weight (LBW) babies, are of major concern in the Neonatal intensive care unit of El-Kasr El-Aini hospital, Cairo University. Several instruments have been developed to predict initial mortality risk among the LBW babies. Among them is the Clinical Risk Index for Babies scoring system also known as CRIB II score. Objectives: The present study was done to assess the efficiency of CRIB II score as a tool to predict the risk for neonatal mortality among the LBW babies at El-Kasr El-Aini hospital.Conclusion and Recommendation: CRIB II score is a valid tool of initial risk assessment even in extremely low birth weight infants in predicting hospital outcome more accurately than birth weight or gestational age alone. It is also found to be easily applicable and therefore should replace the traditional models as the predictor of neonatal outcome. Application of the CRIB II score should be done on admission of preterm babies to the NICU to identify high risk neonates in order to prioritise care for such neonates for better outcome
