Retrospective study evaluates neonatal outcomes and maternal factors for early-onset neonatal septicemia, indicating significant predictors.

Evaluate the prevalence, maternal risk factors, and neonatal outcomes associated with early-onset neonatal septicemia.
Retrospective observational cohort study in a neonatal intensive care unit
Included 128 neonates aged 0-28 days admitted from January 2019 to December 2024
Assessed maternal variables and neonatal clinical outcomes based on medical records
Prevalence of early-onset neonatal septicemia was 16.4%
Identified independent predictors: prolonged rupture of membranes (aOR: 4.67), intrapartum fever (aOR: 3.89), low birth weight (aOR: 2.98)
In-hospital mortality was 19.0% among neonates with septicemia

Khurana et al. (2026) studied this question.
