Antibiotic timing and progression to sepsis among patients in the ED for infection

These hypothesis-generating findings suggest that, in non-severe infections, delays within 12 h might not be associated with significantly increased risks, potentially allowing time for diagnostic clarification without apparent harm. However, due to the observational nature of the study and potential biases, prospective studies are required to confirm these associations.

Abstract

These hypothesis-generating findings suggest that, in non-severe infections, delays within 12 h might not be associated with significantly increased risks, potentially allowing time for diagnostic clarification without apparent harm. However, due to the observational nature of the study and potential biases, prospective studies are required to confirm these associations.
