ABSTRACT
Introduction. The care of patients with COVID-19 required the implementation of actions for their containment in
the medical care units and these had to influence the circulation of other pathogens.
Methodology. Through a retrospective and comparative study, we analyzed the behavior of neonatal sepsis
associated with health care, in the pre pandemic, pandemic and post pandemic periods; as well as during the
five epidemic waves. We analyzed the incidence density of neonatal sepsis, subtracting the cases of COVID-19,
comparing the results with χ
2 for linear trends or analysis of variance for trends.
Results. The stage with the highest rate for neonatal sepsis was post pandemic with 4.7 cases × 100 discharges
vs. 2.2 in the pre pandemic period (p = 0.02), and four cases × 100 discharges in the pandemic period (p
=0.02). The data showed an unstable growing trend, since in five points of union (July 2021, January, April and
July 22, and April 2023) an upward trend is observed. The study did not reveal an association between trends in
infections, particularly neonatal sepsis, and COVID-19.
Conclusions. The sanitary measures to prevent the spread of covid-19 were sufficient during the first pandemic
wave to limit hai, but from the second wave onwards an upward trend was observed.
