The Step-by-Step Approach is an evaluation scheme based upon clinical factors and lab testing which allows clinicians, typically in the Peds ED, to decide which young (≤ 90 days old) febrile infants are at high, intermediate, and low risk of invasive bacterial infection (bacteremia, sepsis, meningitis). Risk assessment allows a clinician to choose less intensive, less invasive management of some young febrile infants depending on local standards, local resources, and particulars of the clinical case. The app is adapted from the validation study by Gomez, Mintegi, and colleagues of July, 2016, with their kind permission. The app is intended for use by health care professionals only, not by the lay public, not by parents.
