Ŷ or SBP for neonates ≤1‚000 grams? Show your calculations. Y = a + bx 43.2 + 0.17(30) = 48.3 The SBP for neonates ≤1‚000 grams at 30 hours is 48.3. 6. In the legend beneath Figure 2[->1]‚ the authors give an equation indicating that systolic blood pressure is SBP = 50.3 + 0.12x. If the value of x is postnatal age of 30 hours‚ what is the value for Ŷ or SBP for neonates 1‚001–1‚500 grams? Show your calculations.
