Cahnge in Management of Suspected Early Onset Neonetal Sepsis After Assimilation of Early Onset Sepsis Calculator

Early neonatal sepsis requires rapid and efficient intervention to prevent morbidity and mortality. Management of such a case includes invasive blood examinations, elongation of maternal and neonatal length of stay, and empiric antibiotic therapy. These actions has major side effects. On 2017, Kaiser-Permanente started using a calculator that weighs the chances for early onset neonatal sepsis, and states the best investigation and follow-up regimn for the specific newborn infant. Eversince, policy of managing neonatal suspected early onset sepsis has chaged globally, including in Israel. Current knowledge regarding the local outcome since the use of the calculatir is scarce. The goal of the study is to evaluate the change in management of suspected neonatal early onset sepsis, including its economic value, between periods before and after assimilation of the calculator in Hillel Yaffe nedica l center.
