Early Onset Neonatal Sepsis Journal for Quality in Women's Health | 22 Journal for Quality in Women's Health (JQWH ) INTRODUCTION Neonatal sepsis is one of the most common causes of death in neonates.
Approximately 20% of neonates suffer from sepsis and this causes 30% - 50% of total neonatal deaths in developing Neonatal sepsis is a term often used to describe the systemic response to infection in newborn babies.
Neonatal sepsis is a clinical syndrome of bacteremia characterized by systemic symptoms and signs, especially in the first month of life.
From the onset of symptoms, neonatal sepsis is divided into two types, namely early-onset sepsis (SAD) that occurs within the first 72 hours of life and late-onset sepsis (SAL) that occurs after 72 hours of life.
Early onset sepsis occurs in the first hour of life, 90% of symptoms in babies appear within the first 24 Symptoms in most babies include respiratory distress or fever within 12 hours of Meanwhile, disseminated intravascular coagulation and thrombocytopenia are the most common complications of sepsis (RD.

8 to 18 per 1000 live births with a mortality rate of 12 to 68%.
Nationally, in 2021, the most common cause of neonatal death is low birth weight (LBW).
Other causes of death include asphyxia, infection, congenital abnormalities, neonatal tetanus, and (Indonesia Health Profile, 2.
Data in East Kalimantan Province, based on data obtained from the medical records of Abdul Wahab Sjahranie Hospital for the 2018-2020 period, there were a total of 312 sepsis patients, and 69 of them occurred in children.

The increased risk of infection in LBW can occur due to deficient transfer of maternal IgG through the placenta during the third trimester, complement factors (Damanik, 2.
Early onset neonatal sepsis is one of the emergency problems in neonates.
and is the main cause of death in neonates, especially premature babies.
This is due to the condition of neonates who are still vulnerable and immature, so they are susceptible to various risk factors during the perinatal Infection is the main cause of early-onset neonatal sepsis which can be acquired vertically through bacterial colonization of the mother during pregnancy or through delivery It can be concluded that neonatal and maternal factors play an important role in the development of early-onset neonatal sepsis.
Considering that early-onset neonatal sepsis is a condition that can be prevented or treated, prevention through prophylactic antibiotics and understanding risk factors is important to identify groups that are susceptible to this disease so that it is hoped that it can help reduce the death rate due to neonatal sepsis (Stoll BJ.
The causes of neonatal sepsis can be seen from several risk factors, namely maternal factors, baby factors and other factors.
Maternal risk factors can include Premature Rupture of Membranes (KPD) >18 hours, maternal fever Journal for Quality in Women's Health | 23 Journal for Quality in Women's Health (JQWH ) >38AC during the intrapartum period or maternal preliminary study of secondary data from the infections such as chorioamnionitis.

Sepsis in neonates is one of the main causes of death in babies, especially in developing countries like Indonesia.
Many factors influence the occurrence of neonatal sepsis, both from the baby's and mother's aspects.
One of the influencing factors is the baby's birth weight which is measured a maximum of 1 hour after the baby is born and the gestational age when the baby is born.
where a baby weighing less than 2500 grams or what is known as a low birth weight (LBW) baby and prematurity .
baby born < 37 week.
is one of the risk factors for causing sepsis.
This is in line with a study conducted by Junara .
where it is said LBW Journal for Quality in Women's Health | 25 Journal for Quality in Women's Health (JQWH ) has a 2.
6 times greater risk of developing neonatal sepsis.
This is because the maturation of the body's organs is not yet perfect, which can cause babies to be more susceptible to infections.
Prematurity and LBW are related to sepsis which is caused by an immature immune system so that babies are more at risk of infection.
The condition of LBW is related to neonatal sepsis because in LBW, weight loss can occur at any time, in contrast to babies born with sufficient weight, where weight loss usually only occurs in the first 58 weeks and the following week there is an increase in weight.
LBW usually suffer from inadequate nutritional intake (ASI), so they are more at risk of infection due to inadequate nutrition and a lack of immunoglobulin from breast milk (Widiyanti, 2.
The ability of premature and LBW babies to respond to pathological agents due to an immature immune system means that there are no signs of local inflammatory reactions at the port of entry .
he entry route for germ.
to signal the presence of infection so that the signs that appear tend to be unclear and non-specific.
This causes diagnosis and treatment to be delayed (Hockenberry M.
The researcher's assumption is that babies born with a history of prematurity or low birth weight should be considered for sepsis screening, so that the prognosis of neonatal infection can be known early.
