Association between serum phosphate levels and length of hospital stay in infants with neonatal sepsis: a retrospective cohort study
Hypophosphatemia is highly prevalent in neonates with sepsis. Lower serum phosphate levels are associated with prolonged hospital stay in neonates with sepsis. Strengthening the monitoring of serum phosphate levels in neonates with sepsis and maintaining the homeostasis of phosphate in the body can promote refined management of neonatal sepsis and help improve the prognosis of the patients.
