Risk factors for maternal pyrexia, infection and sepsis in four hospitals providing maternity care in New South Wales, Australia: a cohort study

Demographic and labour/birth factors conveying an increased risk of pyrexia, infection or sepsis were broadly in line with previous studies. Adherence to WHO prophylaxis guidelines was poorly documented and increased rates of antibiotic resistance to erythromycin and clindamycin were observed. Ongoing monitoring of resistance patterns and improving guideline adherence is important to optimise care.

Abstract

Demographic and labour/birth factors conveying an increased risk of pyrexia, infection or sepsis were broadly in line with previous studies. Adherence to WHO prophylaxis guidelines was poorly documented and increased rates of antibiotic resistance to erythromycin and clindamycin were observed. Ongoing monitoring of resistance patterns and improving guideline adherence is important to optimise care.
