Early-Onset Sepsis: an NICHD/CDC Surveillance Study
In Brief
An observational study for Infant, Newborn and 6 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 615 participants across 19 sites.
Detailed Summary
In this observational study, the NICHD Neonatal Research Network (NRN) is conducting surveillance of all infants born at NRN centers to identify all newborns who are diagnosed with early-onset sepsis (EOS) and/or meningitis. The study will: establish current hospital-based rates of EOS among term and preterm infants in the era of intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis; monitor the organisms associated with EOS and meningitis; compare asymptomatic and symptomatic infants by gestational age and pathogen; and monitor sepsis-associated mortality rates by pathogen group.
