Methods This was a retrospective review of all infants >34 weeks gestation born in the University Hospitals of Leicester Trust, who were screened for suspected sepsis within 72 hours of delivery in September 2020. Review of the clinical notes was used to determine whether these infants would have...

Early-onset sepsisTo assess the potential benefit from the implementation of the Kaiser Permanente early-onset sepsis calculator (EOS-C), in terms of antibiotic use and requested laboratory tests, in a network of neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) in Greece, and to determine the incidence of...
Objectives Culture proven Early Onset Neonatal Sepsis (EONS) is rare, however, it is associated with a high morbidity and mortality.1 Using NICE guidelines for the management of EONS demonstrated antibiotic treatment being given in 16% of infants on the postnatal ward.2 Current NICE guidelines ...

The Kaiser Permanente Sepsis Risk Calculator (KP-SRC) uses the population's background incidence of EOS, objective information at birth and the infant's clinical presentation to evaluate risk of neonatal EOS in infants >34 weeks gestation. This has safely shown to reduce the use of antibiotics....
