Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

AbstractNeonatal sepsis remains one of the leading causes of mortality among newborns, with Klebsiella pneumoniae being one of the most common etiological agents. This article presents the first successful case in Kazakhstan of hemofiltration use in a neonate with sepsis caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae ESBL 10⁷ CFU/ml. The case highlights the clinical characteristics, decision-making process, and effectiveness of prolonged veno-venous hemofiltration (PVVHF) as adjunctive therapy. Hemofiltration contributed to hemodynamic stabilization, correction of metabolic acidosis, reduction of inflammatory markers, and successful extubation, demonstrating the potential role of extracorporeal therapies in critically ill neonates.
