简要总结
Late-onset neonatal sepsis (LOS), occurring in newborn of at least 7 days of life, is frequently observed in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs) and potentially severe (mortality, neurologic and respiratory impairments).
Despite its high prevalence, a reliable diagnostic remains difficult. Currently, nonspecific clinical signs that might be related to other neonatal conditions such as prematurity and birth defects, are used to determine the diagnosis of LOS. Laboratory results of biological markers, such as C-Reactive Protein (CRP) and Procalcitonin (PCT) are often delayed in comparison with LOS onset. Blood culture results are too late and lack sensitivity. This explains why excessive antibiotic use is observed in a large proportion of NICU hospitalized newborns. This results in an increased antibiotic resistance, microbiota modification, neonatal complications (pulmonary, ophthalmologic and neurologic) and mortality.
A previous study (EMERAUDE) aimed to identify new biomarkers to early exclude the diagnosis of LOS, in order to limit antibiotic overuse. This study including 230 neonates revealed high performances of IL6, IL10, NGAL and combinations of PCT/IL10 and PTX3/NGAL.
The main objective of the present study will be to validate the performances of these biomarkers in another cohort. The secondary objectives will be to explore transcriptomic biomarkers and salivary biomarkers.

结局指标
主要结局
Diagnosis of late onset sepsis
时间窗: 72 hours maximum after inclusion
The primary outcome measure will be determined by an independent adjudication committee that will classify the patients into the following categories : infection, non infected or undetermined. This committee will be blinded to the biomarkers of the study. It will be composed of two neonatologists and a pediatrician specialized in pediatric infectious diseases. The diagnostic performance of the biomarkers combination will be based on the adjudication committee classification (gold standard).
