This is Oakley. He has an injury that requires physical therapy and at-home massages. Luckily, his cat sibling River has been training his whole life for this. 14/10 for both

🧪IF you draw labs on a febrile 61-90-day-old infant, use these predictive values

✨PCT ≤ 0.24 ng/mL
✨ANC ≤ 10,710/mm³


➡️ 100% sensitivity + 100% NPV for IBIs.


Next step: Prospective validation before widespread use

#PECARN asked, who is low risk for IBI?

CART analysis to ID low-risk infants:
🧪 UA negative 🌡️ Tmax ≤38.9°C

➡️ NPV ~99.5% for IBI
⚠️ But ~1% (14 infants) w/ IBI would be missed
