Diagnostic significance of markers of severe course of neonatal sepsis according to different clinical scales

Abstract

Neonatal sepsis is a common disease with a prognostic high mortality rate, even in highly developed countries. The severity of the disease during hospitalization is a recognized factor in predicting morbidity and mortality, therefore, in order to standardize the severity of the condition of newborns in neonatal departments special clinical scales are used that take into account different degrees of dysfunction of organs and systems. A comparative analysis of eight different clinical scales for assessing the severity of the neonatal sepsis and hypothetical laboratory markers of its severity is relevant.
