2021-12-11 17:23:04 Currently, 12.0% of infants on postnatal/transitional care wards receive antibiotics for suspected EOS. The SRC could dramatically reduce antibiotic use, but further prospective studies are required to evaluate safety of SRC implementation.

2021-12-11 17:20:08 This study describes each available method and determines obstacles in use for each of them. It focuses on three areas: difficulties related to the application of sensors and interfaces, time to display, and user or observer feedback. Our review informs further studies and potentially improves outcomes by establishing methods to overcome the obstacles in use.

2021-12-11 17:18:36 The normal range for CSF parameters in neonates is different to that in older infants, and some parameters are influenced by gestational and chronological age. CSF parameters alone are not sufficiently reliable to exclude meningitis.

2021-12-11 17:16:57 Long-term CHG use may select for CHG and OCT tolerance in CoNS. This highlights the different potential for separate antiseptic regimens to select for resistance development. This could be an important factor in developing future infection control policies.

2021-12-11 17:12:37 There are several promising novel biomarkers in the pipeline, but well-designed randomized controlled trials are needed to evaluate the safety of using these novel biomarkers to guide clinical decisions.

2021-12-11 17:08:47 ►► In this large, whole-­population, propensity-­matched observational study we found no differences in survival to discharge without major morbidity comparing early versus late initiation of PN.
►► We found higher rate of survival in early PN group and also higher rates of major morbidities that are known to be associated with neurodevelopmental impairment.
►► We cannot exclude residual confounding related to survival bias or how sick or unstable a baby was at the time of clinical decision-­making about PN initiation.
