Background: Utilization of the neonatal sepsis calculator published by Kaiser Permanente is rapidly increasing. This freely available online tool can be used in assessment of early-onset sepsis (EOS) in newborns 34 weeks' gestation or more based on maternal risk factors and neonatal examination.
s, without any significant increase in adverse outcomes. Methods: The proportion of EOS risk in neonates ≥35 weeks gestation exposed to antibiotics, intensive monitoring and blood withdrawal was compared between a baseline period (January 2018–May 2018), when Centers for Disease Control guidelines approach was used, and a post-EOS calculator-implementation period (June 2018–December 2019 ...
