Egypt140 participantsStarted 2018-04-01

Plain-language summary

Abstract Background: Neonatal ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) is a major hospital-acquired infection in acute care settings, associated with high mortality and poor outcome. VAP is considered a preventable infection if the risk factors are managed effectively. The purpose of this study is to evaluate prevalence of ventilator associated pneumonia, its causative organisms, its risk factors and outcome at our NICU. This study used CDC guidelines for infant's ≤1 year old to diagnose neonatal VAP, in period from April 2018 to March 2019.
