Monthly Neonatal Sepsis Literature Review
Our literature review will be published monthly, in cooperation with Krzysztof Włodarczyk, a librarian at the Medical University of Warsaw.
We aim to highlight up to 10 papers on neonatal sepsis in each monthly update, based on our monthly literature search.
