Résumé
To determine the association between early infection risk factors and short-term outcomes in infants with neonatal encephalopathy following perinatal asphyxia (NE). A retrospective population-based cohort study utilizing the National Neonatal Research Database that included infants with NE admitted to neonatal units in England and Wales, Jan 2008-Feb 2018. one or more of rupture of membranes >18 h, maternal group B streptococcus colonization, chorioamnionitis, maternal pyrexia or antepartum antibiotics. death or nasogastric feeds/nil by mouth (NG/NBM) at discharge. organ dysfunction; length of stay; intraventricular hemorrhage; antiseizure medications use. 998 (13.7%) out of 7265 NE infants had exposure to early infection risk factors. Primary outcome (20.3% vs. 23.1%, OR 0.87 (95% CI 0.71-1.08), p = 0.22), death (12.8% vs. 14.0%, p = 0.32) and NG/NBM (17.4% vs. 19.9%. p = 0.07) did not differ between the exposed and unexposed group. Time to full sucking feeds (OR 0.81 (0.69-0.95)), duration (OR 0.82 (0.71-0.95)) and the number of antiseizure medications (OR 0.84 (0.72-0.98)) were lower in exposed than unexposed infants after adjusting for confounders. Therapeutic hypothermia did not alter the results. Infants with NE exposed to risk factors for early-onset infection did not have worse short-term adverse outcomes. Risk factors for early-onset neonatal infection, including rupture of membranes >18 h, maternal group B streptococcus colonization, chorioamnionitis, maternal pyrexia or antepartum antibiotics, were not associated with death or short-term morbidity after cooling for NE. Despite exposure to risk factors for early-onset neonatal infection, infants with NE reached oral feeds earlier and needed fewer anti-seizure medications for a shorter duration than infants with NE but without such risk factors. This study supports current provision of therapeutic hypothermia for infants with NE and any risk factors for early-onset neonatal infection.

BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
To determine the association between early infection risk factors and short-term outcomes in infants with neonatal encephalopathy following perinatal asphyxia (NE).
METHODS
METHODS
A retrospective population-based cohort study utilizing the National Neonatal Research Database that included infants with NE admitted to neonatal units in England and Wales, Jan 2008-Feb 2018.
EXPOSURE
METHODS
one or more of rupture of membranes >18 h, maternal group B streptococcus colonization, chorioamnionitis, maternal pyrexia or antepartum antibiotics.
PRIMARY OUTCOME
METHODS
death or nasogastric feeds/nil by mouth (NG/NBM) at discharge.
SECONDARY OUTCOMES
RESULTS
organ dysfunction; length of stay; intraventricular hemorrhage; antiseizure medications use.
RESULTS
RESULTS
998 (13.7%) out of 7265 NE infants had exposure to early infection risk factors. Primary outcome (20.3% vs. 23.1%, OR 0.87 (95% CI 0.71-1.08), p = 0.22), death (12.8% vs. 14.0%, p = 0.32) and NG/NBM (17.4% vs. 19.9%. p = 0.07) did not differ between the exposed and unexposed group. Time to full sucking feeds (OR 0.81 (0.69-0.95)), duration (OR 0.82 (0.71-0.95)) and the number of antiseizure medications (OR 0.84 (0.72-0.98)) were lower in exposed than unexposed infants after adjusting for confounders. Therapeutic hypothermia did not alter the results.
CONCLUSIONS
CONCLUSIONS
Infants with NE exposed to risk factors for early-onset infection did not have worse short-term adverse outcomes.
IMPACT
CONCLUSIONS
Risk factors for early-onset neonatal infection, including rupture of membranes >18 h, maternal group B streptococcus colonization, chorioamnionitis, maternal pyrexia or antepartum antibiotics, were not associated with death or short-term morbidity after cooling for NE. Despite exposure to risk factors for early-onset neonatal infection, infants with NE reached oral feeds earlier and needed fewer anti-seizure medications for a shorter duration than infants with NE but without such risk factors. This study supports current provision of therapeutic hypothermia for infants with NE and any risk factors for early-onset neonatal infection.
