Safety and effectiveness of the Kaiser Permanente early-onset neonatal sepsis calculator in Qatar
The calculator identified fewer cases and delayed treatment in some neonates compared to current practice. It should be used cautiously, tailored to local risks and clinical context, with close postnatal monitoring. Additional local prospective studies are necessary to improve EOS management and reduce unnecessary antibiotic use.
