Incidence of neonatal sepsis in tertiary care hospital: An overview

Abstract

Objective: To analyze the factors most related to the incidence of neonatal sepsis at Ulin Hospital of Banjarmasin in 2016 Method: This research used Rapid Miner simulation model with population of all newborns at Ulin Hospital of Banjarmasin in 2016 and the sample size was 210 infants consisting of 105 infants with neonatal sepsis and 105 infants without neonatal sepsis. The analysis used Algorithm C.45 (Decision Tree) to see the accuracy level, and Root Mean Squared Error. Results: The factors most closely related with the incidence of neonatal sepsis were gestational age ≤ 33.5 weeks with the strong power of relationship (0.643), accuracy rate of 80.95%, and mean error rate of 0.401. Conclusion: Infants born with a gestational age < 33.5 weeks are at risk of having neonatal sepsis while those born with a gestation age > 33.5 weeks are at risk when the born with asphyxia complication, birth weight ≤ 3875, and temperature> 37 o C accompanied by labor trauma. Infants born with body temperature ≤ 37 o C are at risk of having neonatal sepsis when it is accompanied by pregnancy complication such as premature rupture of membranes.

Clinical and bacteriological study of neonatal septicaemia in a tertiary care hospital

“…Our findings were similar to the prevalence rate of 37.69% and 32% reported by Sharma CM et al and Gandhi S et al respectively from India. 12,13 This may be indicative of relatively similar management practices, hospital facilities and services provided. However, Jyothi P et al and Mhada TV et al reported lower prevalence of 19.2% and 24% respectively.…”

“…Contrary to them Gandhi S et al reported high incidence of sepsis in cases of babies born from caesarean section as compared to vaginal delivery. 13 Thakur S et al found that the difficult delivery (32%) in the form of caesarean, forceps or vacuum was much higher risk factor in their study. 22 …”

The utility of maternal mean platelet volume levels for early onset neonatal sepsis prediction of term infants

“…Early onset neonatal sepsis (EOS) is a systemic inflammatory response syndrome occurring within 72 hours of birth [1]. Although lots of diagnostic measures and treatment approaches are available in developing countries, the incidence of EOS varies from 10 to 20/1000 live births and approximately 1% of infants die due to sepsis related causes [2].…”

Microbiological Profile of Neonatal Septicemia in a Rural Teaching Hospital of North India

“…D.E et al (78.5%,21.5%) (24) On the contrary, Kayange . N et al (8) (EOS-47%, LOS-51.4%) , Thakur.S et al (LOS 51%,EOS 49%) (25) LOS was predominant In present study, Klebsiella sp(24%) and s.aureus (21%) were predominently isolated from EOS which is similar to Mane.A.K et al (26) klebsiella (20.83%) , S.aureus (20.83%) but in contrast to Gandhi.S et al (27) (28) male (61.2%), female (38.8%).…”
