- Abstract
Nosocomial infections are a serious problem among very low birth weight (VLBW) infants. We studied the association between late-onset sepsis (LOS) and mortality and morbidity in VLBW infants. Methods. From a national cohort of 5555 VLBW infants born in Israel during 1995 through 1998, 4829 survived at least 3 days and composed the study population. Maternal, perinatal, or postnatal variables that showed a significant association with LOS in a univariate analysis were tested in a bivariate analysis (adjusted for gestational age). Variables with P </=.1 were then tested by a multiple logistic regression for assessing the net effect of each variable on the risk for LOS.
