We aimed to evaluate risk factors for serious bacterial infections (SBI) among hypothermic infants presenting to the emergency department (ED).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n METHODS<\/jats:title>\n We conducted a multicenter case-control study among hypothermic (rectal temperature &lt;36.5\u00b0C) infants \u226490 days presenting to the ED who had a blood culture collected. Our outcome was SBI (bacteremia, bacterial meningitis, and\/or urinary tract infection). We performed 1:2 matching. Historical, physical examination and laboratory covariables were determined based on the literature review from febrile and hypothermic infants and used logistic regression to identify candidate risk factors.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n Among 934 included infants, 57 (6.1%) had an SBI. In univariable analyses, the following were associated with SBI: age &gt; 21 days, fever at home or in the ED, leukocytosis, elevated absolute neutrophil count, thrombocytosis, and abnormal urinalysis. Prematurity, respiratory distress, and hypothermia at home were negatively associated with SBI. The full multivariable model exhibited a c-index of 0.91 (95% confidence interval: 0.88\u20130.94). One variable (abnormal urinalysis) was selected for a reduced model, which had a c-index of 0.82 (95% confidence interval: 0.75\u20130.89). In a sensitivity analysis among hypothermic infants without fever (n = 22 with SBI among 116 infants), leukocytosis, absolute neutrophil count, and abnormal urinalysis were associated with SBI.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n Historical, examination, and laboratory data show potential as variables for risk stratification of hypothermic infants with concern for SBI. Larger studies are needed to definitively risk stratify this cohort, particularly for invasive bacterial infections.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1542\/hpeds.2023-007356","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,5]],"date-time":"2024-02-05T08:14:54Z","timestamp":1707120894000},"page":"153-162","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Predicting Serious Bacterial Infections Among Hypothermic Infants in the Emergency Department"],"prefix":"10.1542","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Nathan M.","family":"Money","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"aDivision of Pediatric Hospital Medicine, University of Utah School of Medicine, Salt Lake City, Utah"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yu Hsiang J.","family":"Lo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"bDivision of Pediatric Emergency Medicine, Department of Emergency Medicine, Weill Cornell Medicine, New York, New York"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hannah","family":"King","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"cDivision of Emergency Medicine, Ann and Robert H.
