Abstract

Objective: To determine whether prolonged hospital stay, endotracheal intubation, use of mechanical ventilation, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), total parenteral nutrition, umbilical catheter, peripheral venous catheter and orogastric tube are risk factors for late onset sepsis in neonates less than 1500g birthweight.

Methods: An observational, analytic and retrospective study in infants less than 1500 grams birth weight at neonatology service at Belen Hospital in Trujillo during the years 2000-2012.

Results: The mean gestational age and birth weight in the group of cases was 30.9 weeks and 1232g respectively, and in the control group was 31.4 weeks and 1298g. Endotracheal intubation, use mechanical ventilation, CPAP, total parenteral nutrition, umbilical catheter and orogastric tube were independently associated with increased late neonatal sepsis with OR = 7.0, OR = 17.25, OR =7.36, OR=2.68, OR=3.43 and OR=10.18, respectively.

Conclusions: Endotracheal intubation, mechanical ventilation, CPAP, total parenteral nutrition, umbilical catheter and orogastric tube are risk factors associated with late neonatal sepsis in neonates less than 1500g birth weight.
