FAKTOR YANG BERPENGARUH TERHADAP KEJADIAN METHICILLIN-RESISTANT STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS PADA BAYI BARU LAHIR

Abstract

Background. Neonatal infection is an important cause of morbidity, prolonged hospital stay and mortality among infants. In general, microorganisms that cause infections in newborns and neonatal are Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Klebsiella species and Pseudomonas species. Data on MRSA infections in neonatal itself is not widely published, including in Indonesia. Aim. To define the factors that influence the incidence of MRSA in newborn. Methods. This study used case-control design, using medical records as sample. Sample consisted of 46 newborns with MRSA infection as case group and 46 newborns with infections other than MRSA as control group in dr. Kariadi Hospital Semarang on January 2013 – December 2014. Sample were chosen by consecutive sampling techniques. Statistical analysis using Chi-Square and logistic regression analysis Results. There is no Difference in gender distribution in newborns with MRSA infection and newborns without MRSA infection. The mean age of newborns without MRSA infections is younger than newborns with MRSA infection. The majority of mothers in both groups worked as housewive. The results of bivariate analysis, low birth weight, premature, breastfeeding, delivery methods, and premature rupture of membranes are not influencing MRSA infection in newborns. Conclusions. None of the factors influencing MRSA infection in newborns.
