Abstract Objective: To identify the association between maternal and umbilical cord vitamin D levels with suspects of early-onset of neonatal sepsis (EONS) in newborns from mothers with preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM).Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study conducted from January 2017 to Augusts 2018. Data was taken consecutively from medical records and previous study data at Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo and Persahabatan Hospital, Jakarta.Results: From total of 72 infants from mothers with PPROM, 22 infants (31%) were EONS-suspected and 50 infants (69%) were not EONS-suspected. There was a significant association between maternal and umbilical cord vitamin D levels with EONS.Conclusion: There was a significant association between maternal and umbilical cord vitamin D levels with EONS.Keywords: early-onset neonatal sepsis, preterm premature rupture of membrane, vitamin D,   Abstrak Tujuan: Untuk mengetahui hubungan antara kadar vitamin D maternal dan tali pusat dengan risiko tejadinya Sepsis Neonatal Awitan Dini (SNAD) pada bayi dari ibu dengan Ketuban Pecah Dini (KPD).Metode: Desain penelitian kohort retrospektif secara consecutive sampling.

Objective: This study was to determine the significance of meconium in the amniotic fluid of pregnancies complicated by preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) without labor.Methods: A case-control study of 31 pregnancies complicated by PPROM at 27–36 weeks gestation with meconium present (study group) and 93 pregnancies complicated by PPROM but without meconium was performed. The patients were matched for year of delivery, gestational age, race, and parity. Pregnancy and neonatal outcome variables of the 2 groups were compared.Results: The incidence of early onset neonatal sepsis was significantly increased in the study group (16.1% vs. 1.1%; P < 0.001). Similarly, chorioamnionitis (48.3% vs. 22.5%; P < 0.01), cesarean delivery for a nonreassuring fetal heart rate pattern (19.4% vs. 3.2%; P < 0.01), a 5-min Apgar score < 7 (22.5% vs. 8.6%; P < 0.05), and fetal growth retardation (FGR) (12.9% vs. 2.2%; P < 0.05) were also more common in pregnancies complicated by PPROM with meconium. The mean umbilical cord arterial pH was significantly lower in these pregnancies (7.18 ± 0.07 vs. 7.28 ± 0.08; P < 0.001). After controlling for confounding variables with multiple logistic regression analysis, we found that meconium in the amniotic fluid remained associated with early onset neonatal sepsis.Conclusions: The presence of meconium in the amniotic fluid of pregnancies complicated by PPROM is associated with an increased incidence of early onset neonatal group B β-hemolytic streptococcus (GBBS) sepsis.

Abstract Background: Early-onset neonatal sepsis is a great managerial challenge worldwide. Studying the risk factors of early-onset neonatal sepsis is one of the most significant ways of reducing the incidence of sepsis and the associated health burden.Methods: A literature search strategy was constructed, including PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library. All publications until April 30, 2021 were retrieved; the key words were “neonatal sepsis” and “risk factors.” Moreover, the references of the retrieved articles were screened to identify related eligible studies. Data abstraction was performed in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale and Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality scale scores were used to evaluate the quality of the included studies, and the fixed-effects model was used to combine the results. Risk factors related to the occurrence of early-onset neonatal sepsis, the pooled OR, and the 95% CI upper and lower limits were obtained to represent the correlation strength between risk factors and early-onset neonatal sepsis occurrence; the pooled I2 value was used to determine the heterogeneity of the combined results.Results: We included 21 articles with 44 non-repetitive risk factors, 91985 neonates, and 6627 cases of neonatal sepsis. We identified seven independent risk factors of early-onset neonatal sepsis, including at least three per vaginal examinations during labor and delivery, chorioamnionitis, premature rupture of membranes > 18 h, male fetus, gestational age < 37 weeks, neonatal resuscitation, and central venous catheterization, with the following ORs and 95% CIs: 7.18 (3.51-14.69), 6.56 (3.19-13.49), 2.74 (1.44-5.21), 3.03 (1.94-4.73), 4.08 (2.76-6.03), 2.6 (2.03-3.34), and 3.06 (1.64-5.73), respectively.Conclusions: Our results suggest that frequent per vaginal examination during labor and delivery, chorioamnionitis, premature rupture of membranes (> 18 h), male fetus, gestational age (< 37 weeks), neonatal resuscitation, and central vascular catheterization are independent risk factors of early-onset neonatal sepsis. These findings support the use of empirical antibiotic therapy in neonates with these risk factors.

Introduction: India has the highest incidence of clinical sepsis i.e.17,000/ 1,00,000 live births. In Neonatal sepsis septicaemia, pneumonia, meningitis, osteomyelitis, arthritis and urinary tract infections can be included. Mortality in the neonatal period each year account for 41% (3.6 million) of all deaths in children under 5 years and most of these deaths occur in low income countries and about one million of these deaths are due to infectious causes including neonatal sepsis, meningitis, and pneumonia. In early onset neonatal sepsis (EOS) Clinical features are non-specific and are inefficient for identifying neonates with early-onset sepsis. Culture results take up to 48 hours and may give false-positive or low-yield results because of the antenatal antibiotic exposure. Reviews of risk factors has been used globally to guide the development of management guidelines for neonatal sepsis, and it is similarly recommended that such evidence be used to inform guideline development for management of neonatal sepsis. Material and Methods: This study was carried out using institution based cross section study . The total number neonates admitted in the hospital in given study period was 644, of which 234 were diagnosed for neonatal sepsis by the treating pediatrician based on the signs and symptoms during admission. The data was collected: Sociodemographic characteristics; maternal information; and neonatal information for neonatal sepsis like neonatal age on admission, sex, gestational age, birth weight, crying immediately at birth, and resuscitation at birth. Results: Out of 644 neonates admitted 234 (36.34%) were diagnosed for neonatal sepsis by the paediatrician based on the signs and symptoms during admission. Of the 234 neonates, 189 (80.77%) infants were in the age range of 0 to 7 days (Early onset sepsis) while 45 (19.23%) were aged between 8 and 28 days (Late onset sepsis). Male to female ratio in our study was 53.8% and 46% respectively. Out of total 126 male neonates 91(72.2%) were having early onset sepsis while 35 (27.8%) were late onset type. Out of total 108 female neonates 89(82.4%) were having early onset sepsis while 19 (17.6%) were late onset type. Maternal risk factors were identified in 103(57.2%) of early onset sepsis cases while in late onset sepsis cases were 11(20.4%). Foul smelling liquor in early onset sepsis and in late onset sepsis was 10(5.56%) and 2 (3.70%) respectively. In early onset sepsis cases maternal UTI, Meconium stained amniotic fluid, Multipara and Premature rupture of membrane was seen in 21(11.67%), 19 (10.56%), 20(11.11%) and 33 (18.33%) cases respectively. In late onset sepsis cases maternal UTI, Meconium stained amniotic fluid, Multipara and Premature rupture of membrane was seen in 2 (3.70%), 1(1.85%), 3 (5.56%) and 3 (5.56%) cases respectively. Conclusion: Maternal risk identification may help in the early identification and empirical antibiotic treatment in neonatal sepsis and thus mortality and morbidity can be reduced.
