Diagnostic and prognostic value of serial perfusion index in neonates with suspected sepsis: A prospective observational study
Perfusion index (PI), a non-invasive pulse oximetry-derived measure of peripheral perfusion, has shown promise as a marker of illness severity in neonatal sepsis, but most prior studies have relied on single time-point measurements. This study evaluated serial PI as a predictor of culture-positive sepsis, clinical...
