Sepsis calculatornewbornEarly onset sepsisThere is an increasing evidence that strict evaluation of clinical signs is effective in detecting newborns at risk of early-onset sepsis (EOS) that require antibiotic therapy. In a retrospective case control design, we compared EOS antibiotic indication by ...
Accurate identification of early onset neonatal sepsis (EOS) is challenging. Blood culture has been considered as a gold standard method but the identification of EOS is intricate by a high false-negative results. This review provides an overview of biomarkers as indicators for the diagnosis of EOS...
Conclusion As a new diagnostic index of early-onset sepsis,sCD14-ST has the high sensitivity and specificity,and has significant diagnostic significance.It can be used as one of the new laboratory indexes for the diagnosis of early-onset sepsis in newborns. 展开 ...

Objective To analyze the value of the soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1/placental growth factor (sFlt-1/PlGF) ratio in predicting the time to delivery in early-onset fetal growth restriction (FGR) with preserved antegrade umbilical artery (UA) flow at diagnosis....
The median time since symptom onset was 5 (2−7) days. ARDS occurred in 449 (65.8 %) patients, 310 (45.5 %) required NIV and 44 (6.5 %) IMV; 75 (11 %) were transferred to the ICU. The primary outcome occurred in 137 (20.1 %) patients, median LOS was 11 (IQR 7–17) days...
Procalcitonin (PCT) is a precursor of the hormone calcitonin and is encoded by the calcitonin-1 (CALC-1) gene [2,116]. PCT is a well-recognized biomarker of infection and has proven effective for detecting sepsis in burn patients [116,117,118,119...
Lower vitamin D levels are associated with increased risk of early-onset neonatal sepsis in term infants. J Perinatol 2015;35:39–45. 6. Braegger C, Campoy C, Colomb V, et al. ESPGHAN Committee on Nutri- tion, "Vitamin D in the Healthy Paediatric Population: a position paper by ...
We compared the value of IL-6, IL-8, and PCT with C-reactive protein (CRP) in the diagnosis and treatment of late-onset sepsis among infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (group I) and febrile infants admitted to general hospitals from home (group II). Group I was ...
A total of 140 patients (54% boys, mean ± standard deviation Pediatric Risk of Mortality II score 15.0 ± 8.0, 23% sepsis) were included. Mean and peak uNGAL concentrations increased with worsening pRIFLEmax status (P < 0.05). uNGAL concentrations rose (at least sixfold higher than in co...
