Conclusions/Implications: The score demonstrates acceptable characteristics as a screening tool to identify children at risk for sepsis. Nearly 40% of SHs included a diagnostic or therapeutic intervention. Misses of the score were related to high risk conditions that were not scored by the electronic...
"In all of our populations, the screening tool continues to have a very high negative predictive value, which is extremely important when you're screening for something like sepsis," she pointed out. SUGGESTED for you The screening tool involves the twice-daily assessment of white blood cell co...
They found that only one out of four screening tools had a reasonably accurate prediction rate for sepsis—NEWS-2 (National Early Warning Score). It was able to correctly predict 72.2% of all sepsis cases and correctly identified 81.4% of negative, non-septic, cases. A second screening tool,...
Including parental concerns in sepsis screening tools could benefit the assessment resulting in early diagnosis and treatment of infants with sepsis.120 Currently, there is still no widely accepted definition of neonatal sepsis. The Third International Consensus Definitions for Sepsis and Septic Shock (...

practitioners should obtain screening vaginal and rectal cultures at 35-37 weeks’ gestation in all pregnant women unless the patients have had GBS bacteriuria in the current pregnancy or have previously had a child with invasive GBS disease. Implementation of a screening protocol has led to a sign...

Given the critical role of immune cells and their responses in sepsis pathogenesis, this study aimed to evaluate the prognostic significance of various immune cell ratios in septic children through the collection and analysis of clinical data. Clinical d

Screening Checklist seem to have greater sensitivity for detecting delirium in the ICU than does the CAM, but outcomes of patients missed with the CAM-ICU seem to be similar to those of general ICU patients.21 Thus, the most appropriate delirium screen- ing tool for ICU remains controversial....
