Data on 109,312 singleton births at U.S. Army hospitals over 3 years were examined to determine differences in perinatal risk factors between infants with a diagnosis of sepsis confirmed by blood culture and those whose cultures remained negative. The incidence of confirmed sepsis (1.1/1000 live births) and the importance of perinatal complications and prematurity were consistent with other reported findings. No reliable indicators of bacteremia that could be used in conjunction with other clinical data were found. These findings support continued empiric therapy in infants at risk until infection can be verified by culture.

Physical and medical risk factors have long been linked to prematurity and intrauterine growth retardation. Recently, out-of-home employment has been cited as an additional risk. The primary objective of this investigation was to compare pregnancy risks and birth outcome in two groups of employed women (one military and one civilian). We performed a prenatal survey and a postpartum chart review and found that active duty military women worked longer into pregnancy and reported lower levels of social support than their civilian counterparts. However, infant weight and gestational age were not significantly different in the two groups.
