Abstract

Objective: To analyze neonatal mortality and healthcare-associated infections. Methods: A systematic review of 15 articles in PubMed and Scielo, which are directly related to the research objective, was carried out. Conclusion: The different asepsis and antisepsis measures applied in NICU and Neonatology have decreased the incidence of HAIs, although there is still a high mortality rate due to sepsis, pneumonia and meningitis, which cause up to a quarter of all newborn deaths, the most affected being neonates weighing less than 1500 grams.
