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.

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.

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.
