The Role of Intrapartum Fever in Identifying Asymptomatic Term Neonates With Early-Onset Neonatal Sepsis

The problems of moderate preterm infants

“…Both early onset and late onset sepsis occurred 6 to 20 times more frequently in MPT than in full term infants. 12,13 Chen and colleagues showed a rate of sepsis or meningitis in term infants of 1.6/ 1000 which is substantially lower than our rate of 7.4/ 1000 14 . Necrotizing enterocolitis occurred 35 times more frequently in MPT than in full term infants.…”

Unstudied infants: outcomes of moderately premature infants in the neonatal intensive care unit

“…10 Neonatal mortality in [30][31][32][33][34] week gestation infants in the United States is 18.5 per 1000 live births, substantially higher than the 6.9/1000 rate found in [35][36] week gestation infants and the 2.5/1000 rate found in term infants, but considerably lower than the 285.3/1000 rate in babies ,30 weeks gestation. 10 Moreover, these infants make up a substantial proportion of admissions to neonatal intensive care units (NICUs To address this gap in the literature, we prospectively examined birth stay outcomes and three month follow up of a cohort of [30][31][32][33][34] week infants who survived the birth stay in California and Massachusetts. This report will focus on overall in-hospital outcomes and readmission in the first three months after discharge from the NICU.…”

Leukositosis pada Ibu Sebagai Salah Satu Faktor Risiko Infeksi Neonatal Awitan Dini: Telaah Klinis di RSAB Harapan Kita

“…Keadaan yang berbeda tersebut dipengaruhi oleh pelaksanaan larangan untuk pemeriksaan pada ibu hamil yang mengalami KPD dan lama persalinan pada periode partus kala II. 33 Beberapa penelitian lain membuktikan hubungan KPD dengan infeksi, angka kejadian 46%. 34,35 Kuhn dkk 36 mendapatkan hubungan yang bermakna antara KPD dengan INAD.…”

“…Prematuritas sebenarnya merupakan faktor risiko untuk terjadinya infeksi karena imaturitas imunitas yang dimiliki, dan dibuktikan bermakna oleh penelitianpenelitan yang lain. [33][34][35]38,39 Asfiksi neonatorum juga merupakan faktor risiko terjadinya INAD, karena tindakan invasif yang dialami bayi pasca resusitasi. Pada penelitian kami prematur berhubungan dengan kriteria eksklusi karena dijumpai penyakit membran hialin, sehingga jumlah yang masuk dalam penelitian sedikit dan secara uji statistik tidak bermakna.…”
