| Abstrakt: | Objective This study aimed to evaluate associations between leukopenia or neutropenia at birth and risk of sepsis in very preterm neonates. Study Design We conducted a retrospective unmatched cohort study of neonates of <32 weeks' gestation. Those with leukopenia (≤5,000/µL) were compared with a unmatched cohort without leukopenia. Comparisons were also made for patients with neutropenia and without neutropenia. The outcomes were early-onset sepsis, late-onset sepsis, and mortality. Results We identified 271 neonates with leukopenia at birth and 271 without. Multivariable analyses identified higher odds of early-onset sepsis (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 4.85, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.29–18.20) in leukopenic neonates. Of neonates with leukopenia, 183 had both leukopenia and neutropenia and were associated with the highest odds of early-onset sepsis (AOR = 6.94, 95% CI: 1.77–27.15) compared with those with neither or with either alone. Conclusion Leukopenia, neutropenia, and both leukopenia and neutropenia at birth were associated with early-onset sepsis in very preterm neonates. Key Points Leukopenia and neutropenia combined at birth was associated with highest odds of early-onset sepsis. Leukopenia or neutropenia were associated with sepsis in preterm neonates. The risk of infection persist throughout neonatal stay in NICU. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
