Abstract

Objectives: The aim of the study was to decribe epidemiological characteristics of newborn infections in Vietnam National Children’s Hospital, in 2019.
Methods: The study was conducted on 306 newborns diagnosed with neonatal infections from January to June 2019.
Results: 62.8% newborns with gestational age under 37 weeks; 20.9% with weight under 2500g; 30.4% had early infection; và 79.1% had pneumonia. There is a statistically significant relationship between sepsis and preeclampsia; sepsis and the time of rupture of membranes (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Majority
of newborns with infection had gestational age under 37 weeks and pneumonia, there were relationships between sepsis and preeclampsia; sepsis and the time of rupture of membranes.
