About this study
Official title: Outcomes and Predictors of Mortality Among Preterm Infants With Neonatal Sepsis Admitted in NICU of Assiut University Children's Hospital
A prospective cross-sectional study of outcomes and predictors of mortality among preterm infants with neonatal sepsis admitted in NICU of Assiut University Children's Hospital
Read the detailed description
Neonatal sepsis is a clinical syndrome of bacteremia with systemic signs and symptoms of infection in the first 28 days of life. It can also result from viral and fungal invasions of the bloodstream It is one of the events that can occur during neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission. It contributes significantly to the morbidity of very preterm (VP: <32 weeks gestational age) and/or very low birthweight (VLBW: <1500 g) infants Sepsis is a major cause of neonatal mortality and neurodevelopmental impairment among neonates which results in death and major disability for 39% of those affected even with timely antibiotic treatment .
Globally, it is estimated that more than 1.4 million neonatal deaths annually are the consequence of invasive infections .
Infection-specific mortality varies by geographic region and neonatal risk factors like gestational age and body weight .
It contributes to nearly 30-50% of neonatal deaths in developing countries . The risk of death is highest in the first 24 h of life when more than half of deaths occur and about three-quarters of all neonatal deaths occur within the first week of life.
