Abstract
[From the Introduction]: Advances in neonatology in recent decades have enabled the survival of preterm and extremely low birthweight newborns, as well as newborns with some malformations. However, with this improvement in initial survival, other problems have emerged, including an increase in healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), which has become one of the factors limiting survival of these children.
