Abstract EN
This study aimed to investigate the etiology and risk factors of neonatal sepsis.
A retrospective analysis was conducted on 192 patients with sepsis from August 2013 to March 2015.
One hundred and six healthy neonates were used as the control group.
Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors and ROC curve analysis performed in laboratory which indicated a significant correlation.
The results of univariate analysis showed that postnatal age, body weight, and parity were significantly related to neonatal sepsis (P<0.5).
Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that postnatal age and parity are independent risk factors for neonatal sepsis (OR were 1.176 and 0.692, resp., P<0.001).
The maximum area underneath the curve (ROCAUC) of soluble CD14 (sCD14-ST), which was the most indicative biomarker of sepsis diagnostically, was 0.953 with sensitivity and specificity of 93.8% and 84.9%, respectively.
Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Streptococcus agalactiae were the main bacterial strains causing neonatal sepsis, while postnatal age was an independent risk factor for the onset of disease.
sCD14-ST could be a potential useful diagnostic marker for pediatric sepsis.
