Abstract
Infections claim the lives of over half a million newborns annually and expose survivors to the risk of lifelong disability. The challenge to clinicians is to identify newborns with invasive infections rapidly, promptly initiate antimicrobial treatment, and take measures to prevent and treat organ dysfunction. Moreover, excessive antibiotic use is a global public health problem. Despite considerable research on clinical and laboratory markers of neonatal sepsis, the effective translation into clinical practice remains limited. There is no single clinical or laboratory marker, nor any combination of markers that definitively confirms or rules out neonatal sepsis. The interpretation of these markers should take into account their diagnostic value for a given patient, along with their added value to the clinical decision-making process. The digitalization of health care systems, combined with increased computational power and advances in machine learning, offers the possibility of developing accurate predictive algorithms for early detection of neonatal sepsis.
期刊介绍:
Archives de Pédiatrie publishes in English original Research papers, Review articles, Short communications, Practice guidelines, Editorials and Letters in all fields relevant to pediatrics.
Eight issues of Archives de Pédiatrie are released annually, as well as supplementary and special editions to complete these regular issues.
All manuscripts submitted to the journal are subjected to peer review by international experts, and must:
Be written in excellent English, clear and easy to understand, precise and concise;
Bring new, interesting, valid information - and improve clinical care or guide future research;
Be solely the work of the author(s) stated;
Not have been previously published elsewhere and not be under consideration by another journal;
Be in accordance with the journal''s Guide for Authors'' instructions: manuscripts that fail to comply with these rules may be returned to the authors without being reviewed.
Under no circumstances does the journal guarantee publication before the editorial board makes its final decision.
Archives de Pédiatrie is the official publication of the French Society of Pediatrics.
