About 18% of deaths in hospitalized children were related to sepsis, according to a new study.
A new study finds that newborns who develop severe E coli infections received fewer protective antibodies against the bacteria than did healthy infants.
A US surveillance study found a higher incidence rate of invasive E coli than expected, and worrisome levels of antibiotic resistance.
In patients with community-onset sepsis and no sign of multidrug-resistant infection, de-escalation was associated with similar safety outcomes and fewer antibiotic days.
A large-language model developed by researchers accurately extracted signs and symptoms of sepsis from the admission notes of more than 93,000 patients.
South Korean diagnostics company QuantaMatrix will receive $2.85 million to advance work on a test that can diagnosis sepsis in newborns within 6 hours from very small blood samples.
A review of 600 US patients treated for suspected sepsis found 32% most likely didn't have a bacterial infection, while nearly 80% with a bacterial infection received overly broad antibiotics.
Researchers find no association between SEP-1 compliance and mortality after adjusting for factors related to noncompliant care.
Stewardship interventions in 2 neonatal intensive care units were associated with reduced antibiotic use in newborns with culture-negative sepsis.
A systematic review and meta-analysis found no high- or moderate-level evidence that compliance with SEP-1 was associated with a mortality benefit.
