Reducing Variability in the Infant Sepsis Evaluation (REVISE II)

The primary aim is to assess the impact of implementing an evidence-based clinical practice guideline for febrile infants ages 8 to 60 days. We hypothesized that participating institutions would increase the proportion of children who receive appropriate CSF testing, appropriate disposition from the emergency department, appropriate antibiotic use, appropriate discharge from the hospital, appropriate outpatient follow-up, and appropriate parent engagement without increasing the proportion of children experiencing ED revisits or rehospitalizations or missed invasive bacterial infections. The secondary aim was to assess which implementation factors promote clinical practice guideline uptake in a national collaborative.
