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. Data diambil dari rekam medis dan data penelitian sebelumnya di Rumah Sakit Umum Pusat Nasional (RSUPN) Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo dan Rumah Sakit Umum Pusat (RSUP) Persahabatan, Jakarta. Hasil:  Dari 72 bayi yang dilahirkan dari ibu dengan KPD, 22 bayi (31%) diantaranya diduga mengalami SNAD, sedangkan 50 bayi lainnya tidak mengalami SNAD. Terdapat hubungan yang bermakna antara kadar vitamin D maternal dan tali pusat dengan kejadian SNAD. Kesimpulan:Terdapathubungan yang bermakna antara kadar vitamin D maternal dan tali pusat dengan kejadian SNAD.Kata kunci: ketuban pecah dini,  sepsis neonatal awitan dini, vitamin D

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.

Background: The aim is to study the effect of antibiotics on inflammatory marker (IL-6) and perinatal outcomes in women with preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM).Methods: 60 women with PPROM at 28–34 weeks of gestation were enrolled in the study. All the women were given antibiotics as per hospital protocol and were subjected to blood sampling for Interleukin -6(IL-6) at admission, delivery and umbilical cord blood. IL-6 levels were assessed for associations with adverse perinatal outcomes and the effect of antibiotic treatment on IL-6 and perinatal outcomes were studied. The data were analyzed using t test and χ2 test.Results: Increased level of IL-6 was associated with chorioamnionitis and neonatal sepsis (p<0.001). High level of IL-6 led to early delivery and complete course of antibiotics suppressed IL-6 (p<0.001) and clinical chorioamnionitis in women with PROM. Full course of antibiotics also decreased the admission rate of babies to neonatal intensive care unit and suppressed respiratory distress syndrome, neonatal sepsis.Conclusions: Increased level of IL-6 is seen in women with chorioamnionitis and neonatal sepsis. Antibiotics suppress the IL-6 levels, chorioamnionitis and neonatal sepsis.
