In the meantime, available data demonstrate that a visually calculated LUS score is a useful and easy tool to predict surfactant need in preterm neonates with RDS, to evaluate lung aeration while titrating the respiratory support or to be used as a research outcome measure.	./cache/cord-005573-mryrl1s1.txt	./txt/cord-005573-mryrl1s1.txt
