Outcomes and antimicrobial usage in preterm neonates < 34 weeks gestation with culture-negative neonatal sepsis: a prospective observational study
In preterm neonates, composite outcome of mortality and major morbidities did not differ significantly between those with CNNS and CPNS. However, a considerable proportion of CNNS neonates received a prolonged course of higher antibiotics. Thus, there is a need for strategies to improve clinical outcomes and strengthen adherence to antibiotic stewardship principles.
