However, with current CDC guidelines, approximately 200 newborns are treated for EOS for every newborn who has EOS. Since 2011, several cohort studies have demonstrated that the Kaiser Permanente Neonatal Early-Onset Sepsis Calculator for term/late preterm newborns can decrease the number of babies ...

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a life-threatening disease predominantly affecting premature and very low birth weight infants resulting in inflammation and necrosis of the small bowel and colon and potentially leading to sepsis, peritonitis, perforation, and death. Numerous research efforts have been ...
Sepsis is a major cause of mortality and morbidity in neonates. With the improvement in health care standards, the incidence of neonatal Early Onset Sepsis (EOS) has reduced significantly. A recent Web-based EOS-calculator has been introduced with the aim to reduce the use of IV antibiotics in...

Concerning the EOS calculator, even though it recommends routine clinical care for low-risk infants, the absence of perinatal risk factors cannot exclude the potential for sepsis. Moreover, the presence of mild symptoms (mainly respiratory maladaptation) could induce the caregiver to early unnecessary...
In most cases, together with child conditions, specific parameters including local epidemiology, GA, and several maternal characteristics are considered to prepare a risk calculator that is used to decide which children should be treated [18,19]. Antibiotics are the drug of choice to treat sepsis,...
