Management of febrile infants,especially those younger than 3 months of age,is of clinical importance due to the relatively high risk of serious bacterial infection (SBI),such as bacterial meningitis,bacteremia,or urinary tract infec-tion (UTI) [1].Fortunately,reliable guidelines for assessing the risk of SBI in febrile infants have been developed to help determine whether an infant should be hospitalized,undergo lumbar puncture,or be treated with antibiotics [2].However,many hospitals do not have written institutional guidelines,so clinicians often make decisions based on their own experience and knowledge [3-5].For a consistent approach to febrile infants,our hospital plans to introduce written guidelines.In this study,we estimated the expected effects of these guidelines and compared our data with the results of previous domestic studies.
