Association between Congenital Anomalies and Late-Onset Bacterial Infections in Neonates Admitted to Neonatal Intensive Care Units in Australia and New Zealand: A Population-Based Cohort Study
Overall, we reported higher rates of LOS in neonates with CA compared to those without CA. Regardless of gestation, CA was associated with an increased LOS risk among non-surgical neonates. Optimisation of infection prevention strategies for CA neonates should be explored. Future studies are needed to evaluate if the infection risk is caused by CA or associated complications.
