DOI: 10.1002/jhm.12956
Abstract: BACKGROUND Febrile infants are at risk for invasive bacterial infections (IBIs) (i.e., bacteremia and bacterial meningitis), which, when undiagnosed, may have devastating consequences. Current IBI predictive models rely on serum biomarkers, which may not provide… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jhm.2732
Abstract: BACKGROUND Diagnostic codes can retrospectively identify samples of febrile infants, but sensitivity is low, resulting in many febrile infants eluding detection. To ensure study samples are representative, an improved approach is needed. OBJECTIVE To derive… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/pec.0000000000001303
Abstract: AbstractInfants aged 90 days or younger with fever are frequently evaluated in the pediatric emergency department. Physical examination findings and individual laboratory investigations are not reliable to differentiate benign viral infections from serious bacterial infections… read more here.
