Background: The BAS score is a clinical prediction model, made up of 8 variables, which is intended to facilitate health care providers to identify at-risk mother-child pairs who are at risk of premature termination of breastfeeding. Timely identification of at-risk pairs will support interventions that help prolong breastfeeding.

Aim: Perform an analysis of literary sources focused on the application and adaptation of the BAS tool in different transcultural conditions.

Design: Review study.

Methods and Population: Studies were retrieved using a literature search in the electronic scientific databases PubMed, EBSCO and Google Scholar based on predetermined criteria and defined keywords in English, Czech and French: breastfeeding, assessment, tool, validity. The search phrase “Breastfeeding assessment score” and the abbreviation of the selected tool BAS were used, for the period of 2002–2021. A total of 6 studies were retrieved. The studies were sorted based on the PRISMA diagram.

Results: Studies from Italy, France, Thailand and the USA were compared. A total of 4 of the six studies present positive results using the BAS. The remaining two studies give only some variables as statistically significant, i.e., the age of breastfeeding mothers, previous experience with breastfeeding, latching difficulties, and the frequency of breastfeeding. BAS is a predictive model suitable for identifying mother-child pairs at risk of premature cessation of breastfeeding 7–10 days after birth.

Conclusion: The BAS is an easy-to-use breastfeeding assessment scale. It needs to be verified whether this tool will be suitable for predicting women at risk of premature termination of breastfeeding in the conditions of Czech clinical practice.

Keywords: breastfeeding assessment score, BAS, assessment, tool, breastfeeding, validity
