Mar 13, 2020 · In the calculator, choose “GBS-specific antibiotics given > 2 hours prior to birth. **ACOG has recently provided guidance for antibiotic choice when there is concern for developing intraamniotic infection. Broad-spectrum antibiotics should be defined per this document.
The interactive calculator produces the probability of early onset sepsis per 1000 babies by entering values for the specified maternal risk factors along with the infant's clinical presentation.
May 1, 2012 · Neonatal sepsis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Diagnostic tests for early-onset sepsis (other than blood or CSF cultures) are useful for identifying infants with a low probability of sepsis but not at identifying infants likely to be infected.

The expert guidelines highlighted in this review provide an evidence- based framework for approaching at- risk infants and allow for a more limited and standardised approach to antibiotic use. While these guidelines have significantly reduced antibiotic utilisation worldwide, optimally each unit would individualise their approach to early onset sep...
The management and diagnosis of early onset sepsis (EOS) in term and preterm infants continues to evolve with wide variation in practice glob-ally. With the declining incidence of EOS, and a growing emphasis on reducing neonatal exposure to prolonged and unnecessary antimicrobials, many national organisations have updated their diag-nostic and trea...

Neonatologists must continue pursuing a comprehensive under-standing of EOS, so that we can better diagnose and manage this disease process. The expert guidelines highlighted in this review provide an evidence- based framework for approaching at- risk infants and allow for a more limited and standardised approach to antibiotic use. While these guid...
