there was a high rate of agreement between the criteria. The use of the national criteria facilitates the reporting of sepsis in newborns, and can help to improve the specificity and PPV.
Catheter-drawn blood sampling is an efficient method of diagnosing catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) in neonates; it has greater sensitivity and accuracy than methods using catheter-tip cultures. No association was detected between catheter-drawn blood sampling and the occurrence of adverse events with central venous catheters.
common in patients who presented acute seizures (frequency of 65%) and happened in 16,7-23,9% of all patients with AIS. Epilepsy was also high in patients with AIS and early-onset seizures (60% of cases) and happened in about 13-15,4% of all cases. Epilepsy showed little correlation with acute seizures in AHS. Later seizures, epilepsy in AIS were related with larger strokes. Early seizures in AIS was frequent in younger ages (3.4 ± 3.9 years) and in cortical involvements. Development of epilepsy in neonates with cerebral sinovenous thrombosis reached 18%. Conclusion: The outcomes of strokes in children are an understudied subject and few articles, researches are available. Nevertheless, an acute seizure seems to be a risk factor for future development of epilepsy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
