Our primary objective was to assess the prevalence and type of serious infection in neonates with hypothermia. Our secondary objective was to describe the prevalence and type of significant pathology overall in this cohort.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>METHODS:<\/jats:title><jats:p>We examined neonates (\u226428 days old) evaluated in the emergency department and\/or admitted to the hospital with hypothermia over a 3-year period. Demographics and relevant clinical data were extracted from the medical record. Fisher\u2019s exact test was used to determine differences in the prevalence of clinical and demographic characteristics in patients with and without a diagnosis of serious infection.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>RESULTS:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Sixty-eight neonates met inclusion criteria, and 63 (93%) were admitted. Of those admitted to the hospital, 5 (7.9%) had a diagnosis of serious infection, including SBI (n = 4) and disseminated herpes simplex virus (n = 1). The types of SBI included urinary tract infection, septicemia, and meningitis. Eighty percent and 60% of neonates with hypothermia and diagnosed with serious infection had a temperature \u226434.4\u00b0C and ill appearance, respectively. Significant pathology was found in 9 (14.3%) patients and included both infectious and noninfectious diagnoses.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>CONCLUSIONS:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Neonates presenting with hypothermia have a substantial risk for SBI or other significant pathology. This population merits further investigation; a multicenter prospective study should be conducted to better understand associations between risk factors and outcomes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1542\/hpeds.2017-0176","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,8,1]],"date-time":"2018-08-01T08:29:47Z","timestamp":1533112187000},"page":"458-464","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":35,"title":["Clinical
