Abstract in brief

  • * It evaluates the incidence of sepsis and bacterial profiles in two groups: those receiving iKMC from birth and those receiving conventional care with delayed KMC.
  • * Results show a significant reduction in suspected sepsis rates among neonates in the iKMC group, especially in those with lower birth weights, indicating that immediate care can enhance health outcomes for vulnerable infants.
