Background: According to most early-onset sepsis (EOS) management guidelines, approximately 10% of the total neonatal population are exposed to antibiotics in the first postnatal days with subsequent increase of neonatal and pediatric comorbidities. A review of literature demonstrates the effectiveness ...
sepsis calculatorSuspected early-onset sepsis (EOS) remains a significant challenge for clinicians and often requires a balance between efficient sepsis care and antimicrobial stewardship. Low EOS incidence rates and widespread antibiotic use cause widespread overtreatment. Strategies for identifying high-risk...

Neonatal early-onset sepsis (EOS) continues to be a significant source of morbidity and mortality among newborns, especially among very low-birth-weight infants. Epidemiologic risk factors for EOS have been defined, and considerable resources are devoted to the identification and evaluation of infants...

Implementation of an adapted Sepsis Risk Calculator algorithm to reduce antibiotic usage in the management of early onset neonatal sepsis: a multicentre initiative in Wales, UK. Arch Dis Child Fetal Neonatal Ed. 2022;107(3):303-310. doi:10.1136/archdischild-2020-321489PubMedGoogle Scholar...
Maternal chorioamnionitis is a major risk factor for neonatal early-onset sepsis (EOS) driving the use of empiric antibiotics in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Utilization of the neonatal EOS calculator can guide the management and decrease antibiotic usage. Our objective is to safely ...
(Footnote: EOS- Early Onset Sepsis; CRP- C reactive Protein; WCC- White Cell Count). 4. Discussion 4.1Key Results and Interpretation It was noted that IV antibiotics usage in the neonatal population over the year 2019 could be significantly reduced by 70.9% (p value < 0.0001) if the EOS...
The aim of our study was to assess the safety of implementing the Kaiser Permanente Early Onset Sepsis (KPEOS) calculator to minimise antibiotic usage in term infants in line with antimicrobial stewardship, reducing separation from mother at birth and facilitating earlier discharge.A 2-year ...
