Clinical prediction models (CPMs) could improve diagnostic accuracy, facilitating earlier treatment for cases and avoiding antibiotic overuse. Neonates in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) are disproportionately affected by sepsis, yet no review has comprehensively synthesised evidence for CPMs validated in this setting.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We performed a scoping review of CPMs to diagnose neonatal sepsis using Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, Global Index Medicus and the Cochrane Library. The most recent searches were performed on 16 June 2024. We included studies published in English or Spanish that validated a new or existing CPM for neonatal sepsis in any healthcare setting in an LMIC. Studies were excluded if they validated a prognostic model or where data for neonates could not be separated from a larger paediatric population. Studies were selected by two independent reviewers and summarised by narrative synthesis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>From 4598 unique records, we included 82 studies validating 44 distinct models in 24\u2009252 neonates. Most studies were set in neonatal intensive or special care units (n=64, 78%) in middle-income countries (n=81, 99%) and included neonates already suspected of sepsis (n=58, 71%). Only four studies (5%) were set in the WHO African region, and only one study included data from a low-income country. Two-thirds of CPMs (n=30) required laboratory parameters, and three-quarters (n=34) were only validated in one study.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our review highlights several literature gaps, particularly a paucity of studies validating models in the lowest-income countries where neonatal sepsis is most prevalent, and models for the undifferentiated neonatal population that do not rely on laboratory tests. Furthermore, heterogeneity in study populations, definitions of sepsis and reporting of models inhibits meaningful comparison between studies and may hinder progress towards useful diagnostic tools.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjgh-2024-017582","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,9]],"date-time":"2025-04-09T20:50:24Z","timestamp":1744231824000},"page":"e017582","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Clinical prediction models to diagnose neonatal sepsis in low-income and middle-income countries: a scoping review"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6832-9839","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Samuel R","family":"Neal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"UCL GOS Institute of Child Health, London, UK"},{"name":"The University of Edinburgh College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine, Edinburgh, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sarah S","family":"Sturrock","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"St George\u2019s University of London, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Musorowegomo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Zimbabwe Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Harare, Zimbabwe"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5726-2752","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hannah","family":"Gannon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"UCL GOS Institute of Child Health, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michele","family":"Zaman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Queen\u2019s University School of Medicine, Kingston, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mario","family":"Cortina-Borja","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"UCL GOS Institute of Child Health, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kirsty","family":"Le Doare","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"St George\u2019s University of London, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1458-505X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michelle","family":"Heys","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"UCL GOS Institute of Child Health, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gwendoline","family":"Chimhini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Zimbabwe Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Harare, Zimbabwe"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Felicity","family":"Fitzgerald","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Imperial College London, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025072915302010000_10.4.e017582.1","unstructured":"Nizet V , Klein JO .
