Abstract
The risk of EOS in neonates born to mothers with chorioamnionitis is low. The use of an EOS calculator may reduce the use of empiric antibiotics in chorioamnionitis-exposed neonates, but in our cohort, some neonates with culture-confirmed EOS would have been missed. A larger study is needed to evaluate whether limiting antibiotics to chorioamnionitis-exposed neonates with clinical and/or laboratory signs of infection can safely decrease antibiotic use.
