“…The gender at risk for infection is higher in the male sex, this is in accordance with the results of the study of Murthy, et al that male infants are 1.3 times higher risk of infection (p value=0.03, 95% CI: 1.02-1.68, OR: 1.3) compared to female infants, this is in line with the results of 5 literature studies which state that male sex is at risk 1.31 (p value=0.003, 95% CI: 1.22-1.41, OR: 1.31) had a higher risk of infection and even death than women. [13][14][15][17][18][19] Table 3 shows the results of the analysis that 10 of the 14 literatures that discuss the Apgar score, the results of research from 10 literatures that the 5th minute Apgar score value of less than seven is an independent predictor of the risk of neonatal sepsis with a p value<0.01 (95% CI: 8.31-41.45, OR: 18.56) with a mean risk of 16.9%. 1,9,13 A low Apgar score at minute 5 has a risk of 3.47 times more likely to be infected (p value=0.000, 95% CI: 2.53-4.41, OR: 3.47) and even cause death, compared to newborns born with Apgar normal scores.…”
