    Abstract Objective:  To compare early-onset sepsis (EOS) risk estimation and recommendations for infectious evaluation and/or empiric antibiotics using a categorical risk assessment versus the Neonatal Early-Onset Sepsis Calculator in a low-risk population.
    Study design:  Retrospective chart review of late preterm (≥35
    Results:  We identified 1,187 infants who met inclusion criteria. A blood culture was obtained within 72 hours after birth from 234 (19.7%) infants and 170 (14.3%) received antibiotics per routine clinical practice, using categorical risk assessment. Respiratory distress was the most common indication for evaluation, occurring in 173 (14.6%) of patients. After applying the Neonatal Early-Onset Sepsis Calculator to this population, the recommendation was to obtain a blood culture on 166 (14%), to start or strongly consider starting empiric antibiotics on 164 (13.8%), and no culture or antibiotics on 1,021 (86%). Utilizing calculator recommendations would have led to a reduction in frequency of blood culture (19.7 vs. 14%,
    Conclusion:  This population is low risk for development of EOS; however, 19.7% received an evaluation for infection and 14.3% received antibiotics. Utilization of the Neonatal Early-Onset Sepsis Risk Calculator would have led to a significant reduction in the evaluation for EOS but no reduction in antibiotic exposure. Consideration of delivery mode and indication for delivery may be beneficial to include in risk assessments for EOS.
    Key points: · Cesarean section with rupture of membranes at delivery confers low risk for EOS.. · Respiratory distress often triggers an EOS evaluation.. · Delivery mode should be considered in EOS risk..

    Abstract Objective: To compare early-onset sepsis (EOS) risk estimation and recommendations for infectious evaluation and/or empiric antibiotics using a categorical risk assessment versus the Neonatal Early-Onset Sepsis Calculator in a low-risk population.
    Study Design: Retrospective chart review of late preterm (≥35 0/7 –36 6/7 weeks' gestational age) and term infants born at the Brooke Army Medical Center between January 1, 2012 and August 29, 2019. We evaluated those born via cesarean section with rupture of membranes (ROM) < 10 minutes. Statistical analysis was performed to compare recommendations from a categorical risk assessment versus the calculator.
    Results: We identified 1,187 infants who met inclusion criteria. A blood culture was obtained within 72 hours after birth from 234 (19.7%) infants and 170 (14.3%) received antibiotics per routine clinical practice, using categorical risk assessment. Respiratory distress was the most common indication for evaluation, occurring in 173 (14.6%) of patients. After applying the Neonatal Early-Onset Sepsis Calculator to this population, the recommendation was to obtain a blood culture on 166 (14%), to start or strongly consider starting empiric antibiotics on 164 (13.8%), and no culture or antibiotics on 1,021 (86%). Utilizing calculator recommendations would have led to a reduction in frequency of blood culture (19.7 vs. 14%, p  < 0.0001) but no reduction in empiric antibiotics (14.3 vs. 13.8%, p  = 0.53). There were no cases of culture-proven EOS.
    Conclusion: This population is low risk for development of EOS; however, 19.7% received an evaluation for infection and 14.3% received antibiotics. Utilization of the Neonatal Early-Onset Sepsis Risk Calculator would have led to a significant reduction in the evaluation for EOS but no reduction in antibiotic exposure. Consideration of delivery mode and indication for delivery may be beneficial to include in risk assessments for EOS.
    Key Points: Cesarean section with rupture of membranes at delivery confers low risk for EOS. Respiratory distress often triggers an EOS evaluation. Delivery mode should be considered in EOS risk.

    Abstract Objective: This study aimed to examine the epidemiology of antibiotic exposure and early onset sepsis (EOS) in late preterm and term infants born via cesarean section with rupture of membranes less than 10 minutes.
    Study design: Retrospective review of 1,187 late preterm and term infants born at Brooke Army Medical Center between January 1, 2012 and August 29, 2019. Subjects were assessed for factors related to antibiotic treatment. Statistical analysis was performed to compare infants treated with antibiotics versus observation.
    Result: An early blood culture was obtained from 234 (19.7%) infants; 170 (14.3%) were treated with antibiotics. Infants treated with antibiotics were significantly younger (
    Conclusion: Although this population lacks risk factors for the development of EOS, a significant percentage was treated with antibiotics. This population may benefit from future antibiotic stewardship efforts.
    Key points: · This population is at risk for respiratory morbidity.. · There were no cases of culture proven early onset sepsis.. · This is a group of interest for antibiotic stewardship..

    Abstract Objective: This study aimed to examine the epidemiology of antibiotic exposure and early onset sepsis (EOS) in late preterm and term infants born via cesarean section with rupture of membranes less than 10 minutes.
    Study design: Retrospective review of 1,187 late preterm and term infants born at Brooke Army Medical Center between January 1, 2012 and August 29, 2019. Subjects were assessed for factors related to antibiotic treatment. Statistical analysis was performed to compare infants treated with antibiotics versus observation.
    Result: An early blood culture was obtained from 234 (19.7%) infants; 170 (14.3%) were treated with antibiotics. Infants treated with antibiotics were significantly younger ( p  < 0.0001), smaller ( p  < 0.0001), more often diagnosed with respiratory distress ( p  < 0.0001), and were more frequently admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit ( p  < 0.0001). There were no cases of culture proven EOS.
    Conclusion: Although this population lacks risk factors for the development of EOS, a significant percentage was treated with antibiotics. This population may benefit from future antibiotic stewardship efforts.
    Key Points: This population is at risk for respiratory morbidity. There were no cases of culture proven early onset sepsis. This is a group of interest for antibiotic stewardship.
