Summary

This study looked for better ways to diagnose late-onset sepsis in newborns in intensive care. Current tests are slow or unreliable, leading to overuse of antibiotics. Researchers tested combinations of blood markers in 233 babies to find a combination that can quickly rule out sepsis. The goal is to reduce unnecessary antibiotic use and its side effects.
