Study design It is a prospective analytical study. Aim- The Aim study of the Study is to compare the accuracy of New Ballards score (NBS) and Parkins score (PS) to assess the gestational age (GA) in newborns. Method- The GA of 284 babies was assessed by the PS and NBS. Assement was done within 24 hours of birth. The two methods were compared using the Bland Altmann Plot. The two methods of gestational age assessment were found to be in acceptable agreement. Parkins score helps us to easily assess the gestational age of babies within 12 days, mostly in sick and preterm babies. New Ballards score, Gestational age, Parkins score.
