Abstract

Background Mortality of neonatal sepsis is still a significant
problem. It might be affected by many factors.
Objective The purpose of this study was to determine factors
which affect mortality of neonatal sepsis at neonatal ward of
Moewardi Hospital, Surakarta.
Methods Data of neonatal sepsis was obtained from medical
records at the neonatal ward of Moewardi Hospital from December
2004 to November 2005. We recorded data from 97 neonatal
sepsis consisted of 46 male and 52 female babies. Statistical
analysis had been performed using univariate Chi-square and
multivariate multiple logistic regression analysis.
Results Overall neonatal sepsis mortality was about 40%. There
were no significant difference in factors associated with mortality
of neonatal sepsis such as gender (OR=0.44; 95% CI 0.19;1.014),
referral patients (OR=1.61; 95% CI 0.195;.014), and bacterial
growth culture (OR=1.96; 95% CI 0.856;4.44), except for birth
weight which affected mortality (OR=6.29; 95% CI 2.57;15.42).
Conclusion Birth weight affects mortality of neonatal sepsis in
Moewardi Hospital. Patients with positive bacterial growth culture
has two times higher risk of death, however, it is not statistically
significant.
