NeoKissEs
The main objective of our surveillance system is to run a prospective registry containing data on perinatal characteristics and risk factors associated with sepsis in very low birth weight (VLBW, ≤1500 g) infants admitted to Spanish neonatal intensive care units (NICUs).
We are working to monitor the incidence of nosocomial sepsis, encouraging comparative analysis between hospitals and assessing interventions seeking to improve care quality, focused on the prevention of this type of infection.
