Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction: India has one of the highest infant mortality rate in the world. Early onset septicemia (EOS) is one of the leading cause for high IMR. Duration of PROM is important risk factor for EOS in neonates. Present study was done to predict risk of EOS in relation to duration of PROM. Material and Methods: The present study was carried out in NICU of ESI Hospital, Department of paediatrics, Indore (M.P.) The present study extended over a period from august 2012 to November 2012. 300newborns born out of consecutive deliveries in ESI hospital were taken and observed for EOS in relation to duration of PROM. Results: In this study we found that the incidence of Early onset neonatal infection was higher in babies born with more than 24 hour PROM. Conclusions: With increasing duration of PROM there is increased chances of early onset neonatal sepsis. By this study we recommend neonates with history of more than 24 hour PROM in mother should be observed by neonatologist with high index of suspicion for any symptoms of EOS.
