Article Synopsis
- Most studies on late-onset sepsis (LOS) focus on specific populations like very low birth weight or extremely preterm neonates, but this study examines a broader range of infants aged 4 to 90 days in Emilia-Romagna, Italy.
- The study found an incidence rate of 2.3 LOS cases per 1,000 live births among 296 infants, with significant risks associated with extreme prematurity and low birth weight.
- Key pathogens identified include coagulase-negative staphylococci and E. coli, with important factors linked to worse outcomes being central venous lines and meningitis, highlighting the need for effective antibiotic treatment.*
