Neonatal sepsis is a major cause of mortality in low-resource settings. We assessed how neonatal sepsis guidelines were used in two Zimbabwean hospitals and one Malawian hospital. METHODS. Using routine data collected with the digital health intervention, Neotree, we retrospectively reviewed doctors' ...
Pneumonia is more common in early-onset sepsis, whereas meningitis and bacteremia are more common in late-onset sepsis. Early-onset sepsis is 10 to 20 times more likely to occur in premature, very low birthweight infants.[6]Premature infants often have nonspecific, subtle symptoms; considerable ...
Neonatal sepsis is a diagnosis made in infants less than 28 days of life and consists of a clinical syndrome that may include systemic signs of infection, circulatory shock, and multisystem organ failure. Recent Findings Commonly involved bacteria include Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Ris...
Neonatal sepsis is a leading cause of death in newborns in sub-Saharan Africa. It is estimated that 380,000 to 2 million cases of neonatal sepsis occur in sub-Saharan Africa each year and that 270,000 are fatal [7]. Neonatal resuscitation, low birth weight, and prematurity are risk factor...
Neonatal sepsis miRNA diagnosis biomarker meta-analysis Introduction Neonatal sepsis, a complex and heterogeneous condition produced as response to invasive blood infection mostly caused by bacteria, classified as early or late-onset, is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity during the n...
~22-nucleotide of microRNAs are not only involved in regulating multiple relevant cellular and molecular functions, such as immune cell function and inflammatory response, but have also been proposed as good candidates as biomarkers in sepsis. Nevertheless, establishing clinical practice guidelines based ...
The lack of a consensus definition of neonatal sepsis and a core outcome set (COS) proves a substantial impediment to research that influences policy and practice relevant to key stakeholders, patients and parents. Methods A systematic review of the literature was performed according to the Preferred...
Neonatal sepsis continues to be a major health problem in the world. Over the last decade, there has been an overall decrease in the incidence of neonatal sepsis. The institution of intrapartum Group B Streptococcus (GBS) prophylaxis has also led to a de
