According to a retrospective cohort study, more than 18,000 cases of neonatal sepsis in children occur annually in the US. Sepsis is involved in nearly one in five pediatric deaths in hospitals. The study was aimed at analyzing the incidence of sepsis in hospitalized children and its impact on mortality. The main finding of the researchers is the high proportion of sepsis in the total pediatric mortality in medical facilities. These data point to sepsis as a significant health problem in the pediatric population in the United States. The results of the study emphasize the need to pay attention to the prevention and treatment of sepsis in children.
