Abstract

Neonatal sepsis is one of the major life-threatening diseases in neonates, with significant regional variations in mortality. The Subspecialty Group of Neonatology, Society of Pediatrics, Chinese Medical Association, together with the Editorial Board of the Chinese Journal of Contemporary Pediatrics, organized neonatology experts to integrate the latest advances in clinical research on neonatal sepsis. Taking into account the current situation of primary healthcare institutions in China, they addressed nine common clinical questions regarding the diagnosis, treatment, and referral of neonatal sepsis for primary healthcare providers, and resulting in 19 expert consensus recommendations. This consensus aims to help primary healthcare providers promptly identify neonatal sepsis, ensure timely intervention or referral, and improve clinical outcomes.
