Abstract
We demonstrated the sustained impact over a 5-year period of a clinical examination-based approach to identification of early-onset sepsis in late preterm and term neonates at our hospital. To date, more than 20 000 neonates have been safely managed using this approach, resulting in a 63% reduction in antibiotic use.
