A GROUNDBREAKING study has identified a genetic signature capable of predicting early-onset sepsis (EOS) in newborns, ...

“Neonatal sepsis is a deadly disease with non-specific clinical signs ... onset ≤7 days of life) and late-onset sepsis (LOS, ...

Despite appearing healthy at birth, neonates who later developed EOS already had distinct whole blood gene expression changes at birth, which enabled the development of a 4-gene predictive signature ...

The study uncovers gene expression signatures that predict neonatal sepsis, highlighting the potential for early intervention ...

Neonates are one of the highest risk groups of hospitalized patients for sepsis. There is a wide variation in the incidence and microbial causes of late-onset neonatal sepsis, owing to differences ...

Identification of risk factors for late-onset neonatal sepsis (LOS) can assist in preventing infection by facilitating meaningful comparison of infection rates on different neonatal intensive care ...

chop.edu Objective To determine whether culture yield and time to positivity (TTP) differ between peripheral and central vascular catheter-derived blood cultures (BCx) in neonatal intensive care unit ...

This project was conducted under the supervision of researchers at UMC Utrecht and aims to contribute to the ongoing efforts to improve early sepsis detection in neonatal care settings.
