Journal ArticleDOI

Bacterial isolates of early-onset neonatal sepsis and their antibiotic susceptibility pattern between 1998 and 2004: an audit from a center in India

TL;DR: Gram-negative species especially Pseudomonas and Klebsiella were the predominant causative organisms and initial empirical choice of cefotaxime in combination with amikacin appeared to be rational choice for a given cohort.
Journal ArticleDOI

Risk factors of neonatal sepsis in India: A systematic review and meta-analysis

TL;DR: Male neonates, outborn admissions, need for artificial ventilation, gestational age <37 weeks and premature rupture of membranes are risk factors for sepsis among neonates in India.
Journal ArticleDOI

Follow-up in newborn hearing screening – A systematic review

TL;DR: A novel attempt to explore the loss to follow-up (LTF) rate among NHS studies, reasons for LTF and strategies to reduce LTF can act as a basis for planning and execution of effective NHS programs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Towards understanding global patterns of antimicrobial use and resistance in neonatal sepsis: insights from the NeoAMR network

Grace Li, +63 more
TL;DR: The apparent burden of AMR in a given NNU in the LMIC setting can be influenced by a range of factors which will vary substantially between NNUs, and these variations must be considered when designing interventions to improve neonatal mortality globally.
Journal ArticleDOI

NAD(P)HX dehydratase (NAXD) deficiency: a novel neurodegenerative disorder exacerbated by febrile illnesses.

TL;DR: The results show that NAXD deficiency can be classified as a metabolite repair disorder in which accumulation of damaged metabolites likely triggers devastating effects in tissues such as the brain and the heart, eventually leading to early childhood death.
