Neonatal sepsis: Epidemiology and comparison between preterm and term newborns
The main risk factors for sepsis were venous/arterial access device (for both preterm and term newborns) and recent surgery (term newborns). Prematurity and being a catheter carrier were strongly associated with late-onset neonatal sepsis, mainly due to coagulase-negative staphylococci. The mortality rate was lower than that observed in other high-income countries.
