PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: From 3 days of age until NICU discharge, which can occur at up to 1 year of age, and on average at 3 months old

Population: We analyzed data on all VLBW infants admitted to the NICU in 2024.

Late-onset sepsis is defined as a positive blood culture treated with at least 5 days of antibiotics. Necrotizing enterocolitis was defined using Bell's staging criteria to include stage 2 or higher. The outcome was a binary indicator of whether either of these diagnoses was made or neither.
