Core Tip Neonatal sepsis in our study was strongly associated with several modifiable maternal and intrapartum factors namely insufficient antenatal visits, prolonged labor or membrane rupture, forceps delivery, non-sterile vaginal examinations, and maternal urinary tract infections. Compounded by neonatal vulnerabilities including prematurity, very low birth weight, small-for-gestational-age, birth asphyxia, advanced respiratory support need, prolonged newborn intensive care unit (NICU) stays, the latter reflecting greater exposure to nosocomial pathogens. Targeted, tiered interventions spanning antenatal care through delivery and the NICU, emphasizing risk stratification, aseptic practices, early surveillance and timely prophylaxis can sharply reduce sepsis rates and enhance newborn survival.
