Clinical Criteria for a Pathogen in Term Newborn Suspected of Neonatal Sepsis

Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Amiens58 enrolled

Overview

Neonatal early onset sepsis (EOS) diagnosis is difficult due to lack of sensivity and specificity markers. The investigators conduced a restrospectif study to all term born infants born between 1 january and 31 December 2013 and hospitalized for suspect EOS. The presence of neonatal symptoms at birth appears to be a useful clinical marker of probable neonatal EOS.

neonatal early onset spesis (EOS) remains animportant etiology of neonatal morbidity and mortality.

clinical signs in newborn infants

The objective of the study was to determine early clinical signs in newborn infants with suspected neonatal sepsis to differentiate a likely infection with pathogen bacteria in gastric suction culture.The investigators conduced a retrospective study and all term newborn infant born between 1 january and 31 december 2013 and hospitalized for suspected EOS were included.From the computerized medical file, which is filled in exhaustively, the data were given in the form of continuous values or in the form of a category: maternal age, gestationality, delivery period, delivery method, childbirth administration of maternal antibiotherapy. the parameters at birth were recorded in the same way: sex of the newborn, measurements of birth (birth weight, height, cranial perimeter).
