- In addition to the elderly and to persons with weak immune systems, newborns, pregnant women, and individuals affected by chronic diseases such as diabetes mellitus are also highly susceptible to sepsis. Other risk factors include hospitalization and the introduction of medical devices (e.g., surgical instruments) into the body.

1 day ago · Neonatal sepsis is a severe medical condition that contributes significantly to neonatal mortality. However, early diagnosis and treatment can help manage the condition effectively. Predictive analytics can assist neonatal sepsis diagnosis and treatment and offer a reassuring solution. This study presents a systematic literature review of various predictive analytics methods for neonatal ...
1 day ago · September 19, 2024. In pediatric sepsis, illness severity, immunocompromised status, invasive procedures, and infection site are all linked to secondary and/or prolonged infection. Lymphopenia is an independent risk factor for secondary infection in children with sepsis, regardless of immunocompromised status, according to study results ...

Mean GA 36.6 ± 0.7 weeks
4 days ago · Background Epidemiological profiles and the rundown crisis of antimicrobial resistance from bacterial isolates in neonatal sepsis compel regular surveillance to enhance data-driven decision-making. Accordingly, this study aimed to assess the phenotypic epidemiology and antimicrobial resistance profiles of bacteria isolated from clinically suspected neonatal sepsis in Ethiopia. Methods A total ...
1 day ago · Abstract. Introduction: Compromised neonatal intensive care unit neonates are at risk of acquiring late-onset infections (late-onset sepsis [LOS]). Neonates born with congenital anomalies (CAs) could have an additional LOS risk. Methods: Utilising the population-based Australian and New Zealand Neonatal Network data from 2007 to 2017, bacterial LOS rates were determined in very preterm (VPT ...
2 days ago · Sepsis is the leading cause of death worldwide, and a number of biomarkers have been developed for early mortality risk stratification. Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is a routinely available hematological data and has been found to be associated with mortality in a number of diseases; therefore, we aim to address the association between RDW and mortality in critically ill patients ...
