Utility of Placental/Umbilical Cord Blood in Early Onset Neonatal Sepsis in Very Low Birth Weight Infants

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Preterm Infant, Early-Onset Neonatal Sepsis, Umbilical Cord

In brief

This study evaluates the utility of placental/umbilical cord blood (PUCB) to perform the baseline workup testing for EONS in Very Low Birth Weight Infants: CBC (Complete Blood Count) with differential, Immature/Total ratio (I/T ratio), and blood culture along with CRP and IL-6 levels. A cohort (63 subjects) of preterm infants will be recruited. All the participants will be evaluated for sepsis using placental/umbilical cord blood (PUCB) and subject blood sample during the first 12 hours of life (after birth).
