Background and aim: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the prevalence of hyperthermia in the setting of a tertiary care neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and to determine its relationship with early onset sepsis (EOS) and late onset sepsis (LOS) among newborns presenting with temperature symptoms.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study set in Pediatric Hospital Damascus Medical College, during 12 months (since Jan.
2013 till Dec.
2013); we included all newborns in the first 28 days after birth, hyperthermia (> 38 °C).
Results: Among 5140 newborns, 2519 newborns were treated for sepsis and 747(14.5% of all presented newborns) of them had hyperthermia, 126 of them were excluded.
Statistically the fever had low sensitivity especially in preterm infants (14.21%) compared to (24.6%) in term infants, whereas the specificity was high and equal in both two groups (92.8%).
On the other hand the Positive predictive values (PPV) were Similar (74.4% vs.
72.6%).
Whereas the Negative predictive values (NPV) were (42.3% vs.
61.6%).
Regarding the sepsis early onset sepsis (EOS).
It had lower sensitivity than late onset sepsis (LOS) (20% vs.
50%), and the prevalence of the fever is inversely proportionate with the sepsis severity especially in EOS with p-value 0.00015 < 0.05.
Conclusion: hyperthermia was relatively a common symptom in our NICU with a prevalence of 14.5%.
Fever had almost high identical specificity for both term and preterm infants compared to relatively low sensitivity value.
With a higher sensitivity value in (LOS) than in (EOS).
The incidence of fever is inversely proportionate with the sepsis severity especially in EOS.
