Core Tip The management of asymptomatic neonates at-risk for early-onset sepsis (EOS) remains a challenge. Algorithms based on the threshold values of risk factors result in a large number of uninfected newborns being evaluated and treated. In a 4-mo, multicenter retro-spective cohort study, we evaluated a strategy based on serial physical examinations (SPEs) instead of sepsis workup. We studied 2092 neonates. Among 216 neonates initially managed through SPEs, only 12 (5.6%) had subsequently a sepsis workup; only 4 (1.9%) were given empirical antibiotics. All neonates had a normal outcome. SPEs is a simple and reliable tool for managing neonates at risk for EOS.
