Abstract
For infants â¤32â¯weeks, RALIS detects systemic inflammatory responses in LOS and NEC in the first month of life. The algorithm can identify infection earlier than clinical suspicion, even for NEC with negative cultures. RALIS has high NPV to rule-out LOS and NEC, and may, after prospective validation, aid in antibiotic treatment decisions.
