Our results indicate that ROTEM INTEM MCF parameter has good predictive capacity for in-hospital mortality of septic neonates, similar to that of modified NEOMOD score, nSOFA score, and platelet count, highlighting the integral role of coagulation in sepsis pathophysiology. Hence, ROTEM could serve as a valuable monitoring tool to identify neonates at risk.
