Comparative analysis of obstetric high-risk factors and serological characteristics of EONBI.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>There was no statistical difference between the two groups in terms of gender and age at admission (<jats:italic>P\u2009<\/jats:italic>&amp;gt;\u20090.05). The gestational age and birth weight of newborns in the study group were lower than those in the reference group (<jats:italic>P\u2009<\/jats:italic>&amp;lt;\u20090.001). Comparing the maternal factors of EONBI between the two groups, there was no statistical difference in age, number of obstetric inspections, whether to use antibiotics, and mode of delivery (<jats:italic>P\u2009<\/jats:italic>&amp;gt;\u20090.05). Univariate analysis showed that preterm birth, unexplained asphyxia, fecal contamination of amniotic fluid, maternal infection during pregnancy, and premature rupture of membranes \u226518\u2005h were significantly associated with EONBI (<jats:italic>P\u2009<\/jats:italic>&amp;lt;\u20090.05); while there was no significant difference between the two groups in the comparison between diabetic mother and child and maternal fever at delivery (<jats:italic>P\u2009<\/jats:italic>&amp;gt;\u20090.05). Multifactorial analysis showed that preterm birth, fecal contamination of amniotic fluid, maternal infection during pregnancy, and premature rupture of membranes \u226518\u2005h had a good multivariate dependence on EONBI (<jats:italic>P\u2009<\/jats:italic>&amp;lt;\u20090.05), while there was no significant association with unexplained asphyxia, diabetic mother and child, and maternal fever at delivery (<jats:italic>P\u2009<\/jats:italic>&amp;gt;\u20090.05). The incidence of neonatal temperature &amp;gt;37.9\u00b0C was higher in the study group than in the reference group (<jats:italic>P\u2009<\/jats:italic>&amp;lt;\u20090.05), and there were no statistical differences in the comparison of other clinical manifestations (<jats:italic>P\u2009<\/jats:italic>&amp;gt;\u20090.05). The CRP level of neonates in the study group (47.33\u2009\u00b1\u20094.14) mg\/L was higher than that of the reference group (4.84\u2009\u00b1\u20091.03) mg\/L (<jats:italic>P\u2009<\/jats:italic>&amp;lt;\u20090.001).
