Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study is therefore to evaluate whether mode of delivery (normal versus elective cesarean section) has an influence on the development of asthma in children who had neonatal sepsis. It is known that neonatal sepsis and mode of delivery have some effect on children developing asthma, but no study has evaluated both of these factors in the same group.
