Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Predictive ability of thrombocytopenia in culture positive late onset sepsisTimepoint: 72 hours to 30 days of life—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
â?¢ To determine the incidence of thrombocytopenia in culture positive late onset sepsis â?¢ To determine the best cut off for platelet counts which will best predict late onset neonatal sepsis. â?¢ To compare the diagnostic ability of thrombocytopenia with other markers of sepsis like CRP, I: T ratio, TLC, ANC in late onset sepsis Timepoint: July 2013 to December 2014—
