Two-thirds of the post-antibiotic BSIs were associated with a new episode of fever or clinical instability, and only 2 new BSIs were identified after 48 hours of empiric antibiotics and persistent fever. A contaminated BC was identified more frequently in post-antibiotic cultures. Conclusions: In the absence of new fever or clinical instability, BCs beyond 48 hours of persistent fever have limited yield. Opportunity exists to optimize BC collection in this population and reduce the burden of unnecessary tests on patients, healthcare workers, and hospitals.]]> Mon 21 Nov 2022 15:10:53 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48462 Fri 17 Mar 2023 12:14:40 AEDT ]]>
