The Kaiser Permanente Sepsis Risk Calculator (KP-SRC) was developed to predict early-onset neonatal sepsis (EOS), using continuous variables (local EOS incidence rates, maternal factors, infant well-being) to guide decision making.1 KP-SRC has been adopted in Plymouth and Wales, reducing ...
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...
More recently,scoring systemshave been developed in an attempt to predict the risk of neonatal sepsis, guide management and reduce unnecessary antibiotic exposure. Currently, the most commonly used is theKaiser Permanente Neonatal Early-Onset Sepsis Calculator. This score combines maternal risk factors ...
antibioticsBackground The Kaiser Permanente early onset sepsis (EOS) calculator was introduced in 2016 for infants who were born at ≥35 weeks gestation or more (≥35GA) at a principal referral and specialist hospital for women and newborns in Western Australia to reduce unnecessary antibiotic ...

Maternal chorioamnionitis (MC) is one of the major risk factors for early-onset neonatal sepsis. Kaiser sepsis risk calculator (SRC) is a validated risk assessment tool for such newborns. The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) workshop on MC has proposed a risk ...

Comparison of the management recommendations of the Kaiser Permanente neonatal early-onset sepsis risk calculator (SRC) with NICE guideline CG149 in infants ≥34 weeks’ gestation who developed early-onset sepsisComparison of the management recommendations of the Kaiser Permanente neonatal early-onset sep...
The EOS-calculator could reduce the use of IV antibiotics in the neonatal population significantly in this regional SCN (from 13.4% to 3.9%). Judicial use of IV antibiotics is imperative as part of the holistic care for the neonates. Implementation of the EOS-calculator must be done strategical...
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 ...
