This study sought to identify concurrent major comorbidities in preterm infants ≤ 32 weeks of gestation that may have contributed to sepsis-related mortality following a diagnosis of bacteremia or blood culture-negative sepsis within the neonatal period (≤28 days of life). This is a retrospective chart review of infants ≤ 32 weeks of gestation, who were admitted to a single academic network of multiple neonatal intensive care units between January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2015, to determine the primary cause(s) and timing of death in those diagnosed with bacteremia or blood culture-negative sepsis. Direct comparisons between early-onset sepsis (EOS; ≤ 72 hours) and late-onset sepsis (LOS; > 72 hours) were made. In our study cohort of 939 total patients ≤ 32 weeks of gestation, 182 infants were diagnosed with 198 episodes of sepsis and 7.7% (14/182) died. Mortality rates did not significantly differ between neonates with bacteremia or blood culture-negative sepsis (7/14 each group), and those diagnosed with EOS compared with LOS (6/14 vs. 8/14). Nearly 80% (11/14) of infants were transitioned to comfort care prior to their death secondary to a coinciding diagnosis of severe grade 3 or 4 intraventricular hemorrhage, periventricular leukomalacia, necrotizing enterocolitis, and/or intestinal perforation. Pre-existing comorbidities commonly associated with extreme preterm birth contributed to sepsis-related mortality in our patient cohort.
