[Association of illicit drug use in pregnant women and congenital syphilis in a public hospital in Mexico].

We conducted a nested case-control study within a cohort with the aim of studying the association between illicit drug use and congenital syphilis (CS). Cases were diagnosed based on treponemal and non-treponemal tests conducted both in the mother and the newborn (NB). Multivariate analysis with logistic regression was performed.

Factors associated with tuberculosis disease in children from a hospital in Western Mexico.

Background: This study aimed to describe the clinical and demographic characteristics of children with confirmed tuberculosis disease and identify associated factors.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective and observational study at the Hospital Civil de Guadalajara Dr. Juan I.

Incidence and factors associated with invasive candidiasis in a neonatal intensive care unit in Mexico.

Introduction: Neonatal Candida spp. infections are serious events due to their morbidity and mortality, however, epidemiological information is insufficient in developing countries. The objective of this study was to describe the incidence and factors associated with invasive infection by Candida spp.

[Incidence and factors associated with invasive candidiasis in a neonatal intensive care unit in Mexico].

Introduction: Neonatal Candida spp. infections are serious events due to their morbidity and mortality, however, epidemiological information is insufficient in developing countries. The objective of this study was to describe the incidence and factors associated with invasive infection by Candida spp.

[Bloodstream infections with Candida glabrata in a neonatal intensive care unit that uses prophylaxis with fluconazole].

Background: Candida glabrata is an emerging pathogen with the ability to develop tolerance and resistance to azole antifungals, which creates uncertainty about the usefulness of antifungal prophylaxis in newborns.

Aims: The aim of this study was to describe the factors associated with C. glabrata infection in a NICU that uses prophylaxis with fluconazole.

[Prevalence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases in enterobacteria of neonatal sepsis and associated factors].

Background: Infections caused by extended-spectrum beta-lactamases enterobacteria (ESBL-EP) have implications for neonatal morbidity and mortality.

Aim: To describe the prevalence of ESBL-EP in neonatal sepsis and associated factors.

Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted from August 2016 to August 2017; newborn babies (NB) hospitalized in the Hospital Civil de Guadalajara "Dr.

[Neonatal morbidity and mortality associated with low adherence to prenatal corticosteroids].

Introduction: Prenatal corticosteroids reduce neonatal mortality and morbidity; however, there are few studies in developing countries, and with inconsistent results. The purpose of this study was to quantify the frequency of the use of prenatal corticosteroids and to estimate its effect on the morbidity and mortality of premature newborns.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed on premature newborns selected from a census conducted between January 2016 and August 2017.

Neonatal mortality and associated factors in newborn infants admitted to a Neonatal Care Unit.

Introduction: The increasing survival rate of preterm infants has altered the epidemiology of neonatal diseases; however, neonatal mortality is still the main component of child mortality. The objective of this study was to evaluate neonatal mortality and associated factors in newborn infants admitted to a neonatal care unit.

Material And Methods: Prospective cohort study conducted between January 2016 and January 2017 at Hospital Civil de Guadalajara "Dr.

Oxygen Monitoring Reduces the Risk for Retinopathy of Prematurity in a Mexican Population.

Background: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), a potentially blinding disease, affects preterm infants. High levels of oxygen saturation are a well-known risk factor for ROP.

Objectives: To assess the frequency of ROP type 1 needing treatment after improved oxygen monitoring (2011) in a Mexican preterm population selected for WINROP analyses and to retrospectively revalidate WINROP, an online surveillance system identifying infants at risk of developing ROP type 1.

Associated congenital anomalies in infants with isolated gastroschisis: A single-institutional experience.

The aim of our study was to determine the frequency and type of associated congenital anomalies in patients with isolated gastroschisis born at the Dr. Juan I. Menchaca Civil Hospital of Guadalajara (Guadalajara, México), and to explore its possible association with the included outcome variables.

Prediction of retinopathy of prematurity using the screening algorithm WINROP in a Mexican population of preterm infants.

Objective: To retrospectively validate the WINROP (weight, insulin-like growth factor I, neonatal, retinopathy of prematurity [ROP]) algorithm in identification of type 1 ROP in a Mexican population of preterm infants.

Methods: In infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit at Hospital Civil de Guadalajara from 2005 to 2010, weight measurements had been recorded once weekly for 192 very preterm infants (gestational age [GA] <32 weeks) and for 160 moderately preterm infants (GA ≥32 weeks). Repeated eye examinations had been performed and maximal ROP stage had been recorded.

[Risk factors associated to neonatal cross-infection].

Background: Late-onset sepsis (occurring after 3 days of age) either cross-infection (CI) or perinatal is the first cause of morbidity and mortality in neonatal intensive care units (NICU) around the world. Our objective was to determine the current incidence of CI risk factors in neonates admitted to the NICU of the Hospital Civil de Guadalajara during a 9-month period.

Methods: A case-control study with 114 newborns; 38 with CI and 76 controls.
