6 Dec 2022
Abstract excerpt
Antibiotics are administered near-universally to very low birth weight (VLBW) infants after birth for suspected early-onset sepsis (EOS). We previously identified a phenotypic group of VLBW infants, referred to as low-risk for EOS (LRE), whose risk of EOS is low enough to avoid routine antibiotic initiation. In this cohort study, we compared 18 such infants with 30 infants categorized as non-LRE to determine if...
