Cristia pacheco hospital ginecobstetrico maternidad de linea, habana, Cuba Background: To compare the epidemiological, clinical and microbiological profiles between patients with neonatal sepsis who lived or died. Methods: The medical records of patients with neonatal sepsis were retrospectively reviewed at at Hospital Universitario Docent América Arias, between 1998 and 2008. Neonatal sepsis cases were classified as surviving or not after 30 days of postnatal follow-up. The survivor and deceased groups were compared using Mann-Whitney ’s U test for continuous variables, and the chi-squared test or the Fisher’s exact test for categorical variables. Significanty associated variables were included in a Cox proportional hazards model. A p-value

Fobil 1 , J. Fobil 2 , A. Kraemer 3 , J. May 1 1 Bernhard Nocht Institute for Tropical Medicine , Hamburg, Germany, 2 School of Public Health, University of Ghana, Legon, Accra, Ghana, 3 University of Bielefeld , Bielefeld, Germany Background: Health outcomes are not evenly distributed across different populations and different individuals in a given population differ in susceptibility to different risk factors. Study objectives: To investigate age and sex specific malaria and diarrhea mortality patterns in a rapidly urbanizing area in Ghana. Design: A time-point pooled analysis of observed cluster-level malaria and diarrhea mortality in an urban area in Ghana. Methods: All-cause mortality data for the period 1998-2002 were obtained from the Ghana Vital Registration System (VRS) and cluster-level Proportional Mortality Ratios (PMRs) computed separately for age and sex. Results: While there was no sex-specific mortality difference for both malaria and diarrhea, there was some evidence of differences in mortality levels across age-groups. In particular, children under-1 year old were partially protected against malaria specific mortality which was highest among those between 1 and 5 years. In contrast, diarrhea specific mortality was highest in infants and decreased progressively with age. Conclusion: Child survival programs will be more effective if the programs more appropriately reflect these risk patterns for the two childhood killers.
