The tool below is intended for the use of clinicians trained and experienced in the care of newborn infants. Using this tool, the risk of early-onset sepsis can be calculated in an infant born > 34 weeks gestation. The interactive calculator produces the probability of early onset sepsis per 1000 babies by entering values for the specified ...

The overall mortality rate of early-onset sepsis is 3 to 40% (that of early-onset GBS infection is 2 to 10%) and of late-onset sepsis is 2 to 20% (that of late-onset GBS is about 2%). Mortality in late-onset sepsis highly depends on the etiology of the infection; infections caused by gram-negative bacilli or Candida species have rates of up to ...
Dec 1, 2018 · The predictive models were used to develop a Web-based Neonatal Early-Onset Sepsis Risk Calculator with recommended clinical algorithms that are based on the final risk estimate. 47 Blood culture and enhanced clinical observation are recommended for infants with an EOS risk estimated at ≥1 per 1000 live births, and blood culture and empirical ...

the first 6–12hours of life to estimate the risk of sepsis. Blood culture and enhanced clinical observations are recommended for infants with a risk of early onset sepsis ≥1/1000 and empirical antibiotics for infants with an estimated risk of sepsis ≥3/1000. Use of the sepsis calculator has been shown to reduce the use
