Meningitis, defined as inflammation of the meninges caused by different pathogens, is a
serious infection associated with high morbidity and mortality. It occurs more commonly in
the neonatal period than in any other age group. Neonatal meningitis is a devastating
infection that occurs more commonly in neonates than in any other age group, and is
associated with significant morbidity and mortality. In this study, we aimed to evaluate
epidemiology, treatment and prognosis of neonatal meningitis in a large-scale retrospective
multicenter cohort study.
The main objectives of this study were to assess the incidence, temporal trend, risk factors,
causative organisms, and short term outcomes of neonatal meningitis in a large national
cohort of newborn infants admitted to Turkey NICUs.

Primary | Incidence of neonatal meningitis | Occurrence of a meningitis in NICU within a specified period of time. (Number of neonatal meningitis cases / Total number of inpatients in the study period) | average of 5 years | |
Secondary | Causative organisms | Number and types of isolated microorganisms in CSF cultures | average of 5 years | |
Secondary | Neurodevelopmental Outcome | - Bayley Scales of Infant Development, Second Edition (BSID II), was performed a comprehensive assessment including neurological and developmental evaluation. The mean BSID II score is 100 for Mental Developmental Index (MDI) and Psychomotor Developmental Index (PDI), with a standard deviation (SD) of 15; a score of less than 70 (42 SDs below the mean) indicates a significant delay. Infants who were so severely impaired that testing with the BSID II could not be performed were assigned a MDI and PDI score of 49. | 18 to 24 months | |
Secondary | Mortality | Neonatal meningitis related mortality | up to 28 days |
