Our study evaluated the role of micro-erythrocte sedimentation rate (micro-ESR) in the early detection of neonatal sepsis.Neonates with >34 completed weeks of gestation, appropriate for gestational age, admitted in our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit with clinical suspicion of early onset sepsis were enrolled in the study. A sepsis screen and blood culture was performed on all the babies within 4 h of admission. The sensitivity of micro-ESR for detecting positive blood culture was calculated and the best cut-off was determined using the Area Under Curve.
我们的研究评估了微红细胞沉降率(micro-ESR)在新生儿败血症早期检测中的作用。本研究纳入了胎龄>34 周、适于胎龄、在我院新生儿重症监护病房(NICU)以临床疑似早发型败血症入院的新生儿。所有婴儿在入院后 4 小时内进行败血症筛查和血培养。计算了 micro-ESR 检测阳性血培养的敏感性,并使用曲线下面积确定最佳截断值。
