The utility of C‐reactive protein in neonatal early‐onset sepsis screening: A territory‐wide cohort analysis

Pediatric Investigation, EarlyView.
C‐reactive protein (CRP) is not recommended for early‐onset sepsis (EOS) screening in term neonates. CRP results can support EOS risk assessment in preterm neonates, but should be interpreted appropriately with other clinical parameters. A CRP level of >12.0 mg/L may suggest the need for lumbar puncture during sepsis evaluation.
