Article Synopsis
- Late-onset neonatal sepsis is a serious concern for premature infants, with current testing methods lacking the sensitivity and specificity needed for prompt diagnosis.
- The study involved a comparison of 65 premature infants with diagnosed sepsis to 65 without, identifying key clinical signs (like feeding difficulties and fever) and laboratory markers (like thrombocytopenia and C-reactive protein) indicative of sepsis.
- A scoring system, presented as a nomogram, was created from these findings, aimed at aiding clinicians in quickly assessing the risk of sepsis, potentially improving treatment outcomes and reducing unnecessary interventions for healthy premature newborns.
