TLDR
Proven sepsis significantly contributes to NDI in extremely preterm infants, independent of other risk factors, and better strategies aimed at reducing the incidence of Sepsis in this highly vulnerable population are needed.
Abstract
Neonatal sepsis causes high mortality and morbidity in preterm infants, but less is known regarding the long-term outcome after sepsis. This study aimed to determine the impact of sepsis on neurodevelopment at 2 years' corrected age in extremely preterm infants.

The role of inflammation in perinatal brain injury

TL;DR: Important differences in innate and adaptive immunity in immature versus adult brain are highlighted, which support the notion that the consequences of inflammation will be entirely different depending on context and stage of CNS development.

Mortality and Neonatal Morbidity Among Infants 501 to 1500 Grams From 2000 to 2009

TL;DR: Mortality and major neonatal morbidity in survivors decreased for infants with birth weight 501 to 1500 g between 2000 and 2009, however, at the end of the decade, a high proportion of these infants still either died or survived after experiencing ≥1 major neonnatal morbidity known to be associated with both short- and long-term adverse consequences.

Mortality related to invasive infections, sepsis, and septic shock in critically ill children in Australia and New Zealand, 2002-13: a multicentre retrospective cohort study.

TL;DR: Severe infections remain a major cause of mortality in paediatric ICUs, representing a major public health problem, and future studies should focus on patients with the highest risk of poor outcome, and assess the effectiveness of present sepsis interventions in children.

Neonatal sepsis: Progress towards improved outcomes

TL;DR: In this article, the authors have identified Gram-negative pathogens as an emerging etiology of early-onset invasive infections, such as Group B streptococcal colonization, prolonged rupture of membranes, and intra-amniotic infection.

Neurologic and Developmental Disability at Six Years of Age after Extremely Preterm Birth

TL;DR: Among extremely preterm children, cognitive and neurologic impairment is common at school age and a comparison with their classroom peers indicates a level of impairment that is greater than is recognized with the use of standardized norms.
