Likelihood of Blood Culture Positivity Using SeptiCyte RAPID.

ABSTRACT: Background: Early diagnosis and identification of causative pathogens using blood culture in patients suspected of blood stream infection (BSI) and sepsis are critical for improving patient outcomes through earlier and more targeted treatment. There is a need for tools that can guide the use of microbiologic diagnostics, especially where resources are limited, such as in lower- and middle-income countries (LMICs), pandemic and mass-casualty scenarios, and prolonged field care settings during military operations. Methods: Post hoc retrospective analysis of individual patient data from three prospective clinical studies, conducted in North America, Europe and Africa, to investigate the association between SeptiCyte RAPID test results (SeptiScores) and blood culture (BC) results
