Many studies on cytokines did not discriminate culture-proven from clinically-suspected sepsis; however, such differentiation is clinically useful.To evaluate the feasibility to differentiate among culture-proven LOS, clinical LOS and controls using a battery of cytokines.This prospective study was conducted at the NICU of Harapan-Kita Women and Children's...
