Comparison 1: referral or full course of antibiotics vs usual care

Neonatal mortality ‐ first dose and referral · neonates with sepsis

Comparison 1: referral or full course of antibiotics may leads to lower neonatal mortality ‐ first dose and referral compared with standard care (low certainty).

Comparison 1: referral or full course of antibiotics vs usual care

Neonatal mortality ‐ full course · neonates with sepsis

It is very uncertain whether comparison 1: referral or full course of antibiotics changes neonatal mortality ‐ full course compared with standard care (very low certainty).
