Abstract: 
Objective- To validate Clinical Risk Index for Babies (CRIB II) score in predicting the mortality of preterm, VLBW babies and to study the correlation of risk factors with Clinical Risk Index for Babies(CRIB II)
Methods- A Prospective observational study was done in Preterm, VLBW neonates admitted in our neonatal intensive care unit (NICU)over a period of 1 year from November 2021 to December 2022 in 50 subjects.
Result Out of 50 VLBW neonates, 32 (64%) were level 1 score, 12 (24.00%) were level 2 score, 5 (10.00%) were level 3, 1 (2%) were level 4 score. Out of 50 VLBW babies, 32 (64%) were survived and 18(36%) were expired. There is a strong, negative correlation between CRIB II score and birth weight of infants with p 0.001 and r=-0.79
Conclusion-. The present study concludes that CRIB II a score is effective in predicting the mortality in VLBW babies. Survival is more among babies in level 1 score. The more the CRIB II score, the less is the chance of survival.
