Review Meta Analysis
The prevalence of serious bacterial infections in neutropenic immunocompetent febrile children.
Febrile neutropenic immunocompromised children are at a high risk of Serious Bacterial Infections (SBI). ⋯ If the clinical suspicion is low, the risk for SBI is similar between febrile healthy neutropenic and non-neutropenic children.

Multicenter Study
Supervised classification techniques for prediction of mortality in adult patients with sepsis.
Sepsis mortality is still unacceptably high and an appropriate prognostic tool may increase the accuracy for clinical decisions. ⋯ Deep learning and AI are increasingly used as support tools in clinical medicine. Their performance in a syndrome as complex and heterogeneous as sepsis may be a new horizon in clinical research. SVM and ANN seem promising for improving sepsis classification and prognosis.
