Summary

This study will check if using a special calculator helps doctors better manage suspected early-onset sepsis in newborns. The calculator estimates a baby's risk of infection and suggests the best course of action. Researchers will compare care before and after the calculator was introduced at one hospital, looking at how many blood tests and antibiotics were used, and the costs involved. About 6,300 full-term newborns will be included.
