Abstract:Aim(i) To compare perfusion index (PI) and plethysmography variability index (PVI) between neonates with proven or probable sepsis versus no‐sepsis, (ii) to examine an association of PI and PVI with in‐hospital mortality.MethodsWe enrolled neonates with clinically presumed sepsis. Culture‐proven or probable sepsis were categorised as ‘cases’ and no‐sepsis as ‘controls’. PI and PVI were recorded hourly for 120 h and averaged in 20‐time epochs (0–6 h to 115–120 h).ResultsWe analysed 148 neonates with sepsis (pro… Show more
