Summary

This study will review practices in relation to chorioamnionitis (CAM) before and after to the implementation of the Neonatal Early-Onset Sepsis (EOS) Risk Calculator to determine the effect in the nursery at Banner - University Medical Center Phoenix. Newborns enrolled will be at least 35 weeks gestational age (GA) and have a maternal diagnosis of at least suspected or confirmed CAM. The data will include those newborns whose assessment and treatment were not guided by the EOS calculator which was implemented on August 28, 2019 and those with which the EOS calculator was utilized. A secondary objective is to show the economic impact with utilization of the EOS calculator. Data collected will include full laboratory workups including complete blood counts (CBC), blood cultures, antibiotic usage, length of time in the newborn nursery and total length of stay.
