Hello Friends 👋
Journal club is Back! We have a great series of paper to review this week. We talk about CRP in early onset sepsis, lumbar puncture attempts in late onset sepsis evaluation, indomethacin prophylaxis and so much more. We also announce the winner of our end-of-year giveaway, generously sponsored by Reckitt-Mead Johnson. We hope you enjoy this week's episode. Happy Sunday.
