Objective: To determine the main risk factors associated with early probable neonatal sepsis. Methodology: An observational, analytical, retrospective study of cases and controls was carried out. The cases were 71 newborns diagnosed with probable early sepsis associated with one or more of the factors under study; and the control group: 71 neonates without early probable neonatal sepsis with one or more of the factors under study, the data were collected from the medical records. The bivariate analysis of the evaluated risk factors, low birth weight, infection of the maternal urinary tract in the third trimester and premature membrane rupture, was carried out through the Chi-2 test, Odds ratio with a level of confidence to 95%. For the comparative analysis of the quantitative variables, the man whitney U test was used. Results: In the bivariate analysis, maternal urinary tract infection ...

OBJETIVO: Determinar el bajo peso al nacer, infección del tracto urinario materno en el tercer trimestre y rotura prematura de membrana como factores de riesgo para sepsis probable temprano en el servicio de neonatología UCIN-A del hospital de Hermilio Valdizán Medrano Huánuco, enero a diciembre del 2016. METODOLOGÍA: Se realizó un estudio de tipo observacional, analítico, retrospectivo de casos y controles. La muestra estuvo conformado por 142 neonatos, los cuales se separó en dos grupos, el grupo de casos 71 recién nacidos con sepsis probable neonatal temprana; y el grupo de controles: 71 neonatos sin sepsis neonatal probable temprana, los datos fueron recogidos de las historias clínicas. El análisis bivariado de los factores de riesgo materno y neonatal relacionados a la sepsis probable neonatal temprana se realizó a través de la prueba de Chi-2, Odds ratio con un nivel d...
