In this population, antibiotics are often initiated immediately following delivery; however, this may be unnecessary as infections typically develop as a consequence of chronic issues in gastroschisis. The objective of this study was to evaluate the incidence of culture positive early onset sepsis, the reliability of the immature to mature neutrophil count (I:T) ratio as an infectious biomarker, and antibiotic use in infants with gastroschisis.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Study Design\u2003This retrospective chart review analyzed clinical data from 103 infants with gastroschisis and 103 weight-matched controls that were evaluated for early onset infection.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Results\u2003Compared with the control group, there was a significantly increased percentage of infants with an I:T ratio\u2009&gt;\u20090.2 in the gastroschisis group (43% vs. 12%, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001) and an increased percentage of infants exposed to greater than 5 days of antibiotics regardless of their I:T ratio (75% vs. 6%, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001).
