Sepsis is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality among newborns. Due to strict criteria and in order to diagnose and prevent early-onset group B streptococcal (EOGBS) sepsis, many infants undergo a sepsis workup due to risk factors alone, even though they are asymptomatic. Our goal is to evaluate the number of newborns that undergo sepsis workup due to risk factors alone, to determine the number of newborns having positive blood cultures, and to establish ways to reduce the number of asymptomatic infants undergoing sepsis workup.
1,899 studies on the registry are indexed under Sepsis; 462 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 800 is above the median of 160 across 931 observational studies indexed under Sepsis.
