Result: The overall prevalence of neonatal sepsis in this study was 52.7%..This study found out that PROM of the mother, gestational age of neonates and birth weight of the neonate were significantly associated with neonatal sepsis.. Conclusion: The associated risk factors for neonatal sepsis were identified as PROM of the mother, gestational age of neonates and birth weight of the neonate.
