Neonatal sepsis definitions from randomised clinical trials

Rian Hayes et al.

Summary: Neonatal sepsis, a leading cause of infant mortality, has diverse definitions based on microbiological culture, laboratory tests, and clinical signs. An international consensus-based definition could improve research comparability and clinical outcomes.

Criteria for Pediatric Sepsis-A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis by the Pediatric Sepsis Definition Taskforce*

Kusum Menon et al.

Summary: The study aimed to determine the associations of demographic, clinical, laboratory, organ dysfunction, and illness severity variable values with sepsis, severe sepsis, or septic shock in children with infection, as well as multiple organ dysfunction or death in children with sepsis, severe sepsis, or septic shock. The findings revealed significant associations between multiple markers of organ dysfunction and the outcomes of interest.

Hemodynamic dysfunction in neonatal sepsis

Ashraf Kharrat et al.

Summary: Cardiovascular disturbances are common in neonatal sepsis, especially in preterm and term infants. The clinical manifestations are influenced by inflammatory pathways, cardiovascular system development, and hormonal responses. Targeted neonatal echocardiography can help in real-time monitoring and supporting individualized physiology-based management.

A specialized multi-disciplinary care program for children with sepsis and multiple organ dysfunction-associated immune dysregulation

Lindsey R. Swigart et al.

Summary: The complex care needs of children with sepsis and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) require a multi-disciplinary consult service to coordinate diagnostics, management, and communication. The development of the Program in Inflammation, Immunity, and the Microbiome (PrIIMe) has helped streamline care for these patients. This information is valuable for clinicians and healthcare leaders developing similar consult services.

Diagnosis of neonatal sepsis: the past, present and future

Istemi Han Celik et al.

Summary: Sepsis remains a significant cause of neonatal mortality, and early and accurate diagnosis of infection will improve clinical outcomes. Current diagnostic methods may overcome limitations seen with culture-based techniques by utilizing nonculture-based techniques and biomarkers. Promising strategies for the future include omics technology, personalized medicine, and point of care tests.

Mechanisms and modulation of sepsis-induced immune dysfunction in children

Leena B. Mithal et al.

Summary: Immunologic responses during sepsis vary significantly among patients and evolve over the course of illness, leading to a spectrum of immunoparalysis that can increase morbidity and mortality. Current research focuses on immune dysregulation and immunomodulatory therapies in sepsis, with future emphasis on personalized treatments involving gene expression.

Transcript host-RNA signatures to discriminate bacterial and viral infections in febrile children

Danilo Buonsenso et al.

Summary: Traditional laboratory markers fail to accurately distinguish between viral and bacterial infections in children, potentially leading to delayed recognition of sepsis and severe bacterial infections. Transcript host-RNA signatures offer a new tool to differentiate viral from bacterial infections, improving characterization of the spectrum of infections and optimizing antibiotic use in children.

Noninfectious influencers of early-onset sepsis biomarkers

Caterina Tiozzo et al.

Summary: Diagnostic tests for sepsis focus on detecting the infectious agent or host markers that change in response to infection. Tests for host markers have advantages like quick turnaround time and lower blood sample requirements, providing critical information on host immune response. However, they may not always differentiate between nonspecific inflammation and true infection, leading to potential antibiotic overuse.

Neonatal multidrug-resistant gram-negative infection: epidemiology, mechanisms of resistance, and management

Dustin D. Flannery et al.

Summary: Infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit, especially those born preterm, are at high risk for infection. Increasing prevalence of antibiotic resistance among common neonatal pathogens poses a challenge for optimal management of infections in neonates. Monitoring and prevention of multidrug-resistant gram-negative infections is a research priority in pediatric care.

Antibiotics in critically ill children-a narrative review on different aspects of a rational approach

Nora Bruns et al.

Summary: Critically ill children are at risk of harm from antibiotic overtreatment, caused by the fear of missing severe bacterial infections. Antibiotic stewardship programs can help guide appropriate antibiotic therapy to reduce harm and improve outcomes. Timely and targeted antibiotic treatment is crucial for managing infections in critically ill children.

Invasive fungal infections in neonates: a review

Kristin E. D. Weimer et al.

Summary: Invasive fungal infections, primarily caused by Candida and Aspergillus species, are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in neonates. Proper identification and treatment, along with prevention strategies such as prophylactic antifungal therapy and reducing exposure to modifiable risk factors, are essential for managing these infections effectively.

Vital signs as physiomarkers of neonatal sepsis

Brynne A. Sullivan et al.

Summary: Neonatal sepsis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in neonatal intensive care units, with abnormal vital signs serving as physiological markers of sepsis. The systemic inflammatory response to pathogens signals the autonomic nervous system, resulting in changes in temperature, respiratory rate, heart rate, and blood pressure.

Epigenetic regulation of pediatric and neonatal immune responses

Jennifer Bermick et al.

Summary: Epigenetic regulation of transcription refers to mechanisms that regulate gene expression without altering the DNA sequence, including DNA methylation, histone modifications, and microRNA expression. Epigenetics plays a crucial role in immune development and health, with exposures during prenatal, perinatal, and postnatal periods affecting immune cell epigenetic profiles and function. Many pediatric diseases have an epigenetic component, and targeting epigenetic mechanisms may offer successful strategies for treating childhood diseases.

Chorioamnionitis and neonatal outcomes

Viral G. Jain et al.

Summary: Chorioamnionitis or intrauterine inflammation is a frequent cause of preterm birth, affecting almost every organ of the developing fetus. While multiple microbes have been implicated in causing chorioamnionitis, sterile inflammation appears to be more common, and eradication of microorganisms has not been shown to prevent associated morbidity and mortality.
