"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...
As a result, a mandatory training programme has been delivered and a sepsis screening tool, including prompts for appropriate management, has been produced. A continuous clinical audit will also be introduced to understand how this knowledge is applied in practice....

Group B Streptococcus (GBS) infection remains a leading cause of newborn morbidity and mortality. The study aimed to determine the adherence rate to the universal screening policy a decade after its introduction. Secondly, whether the timing of antibioti
For use as a screening tool amongst undifferentiated patients in the Emergency Department (ED), a score should be capable of discriminating sepsis from other competing diagnoses, as well as predicting the development of sepsis among infected patients [14]. Therefore, in this study we evaluated qSO...
000 people per year in the UK with societal costs of up to £10 billion. Therefore, there is a clinical need for an optimized pathway. By applying our method in this field, we were able to assess the variation in current hospital guidelines for sepsis and infer the potential impact this...
Screening for Patients Likely to Have Sepsis A parsimonious clinical model developed with multivariable logistic regression identified that any 2 of 3 clinical variables—Glasgow Coma Scale score of 13 or less, systolic blood pressure of 100 mm Hg or less, and respiratory rate 22/min or greater—...
