Objective: Suspected early-onset sepsis is a common diagnosis among neonates which warrants admission to the neonatal intensive care unit. Prolonged empiric antibiotic is the biggest concern and treatment duration is still controversial. Antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) program promotes early antibiotic de-escalation to reduce unnecessary antibiotic exposure and its implementation in the intensive care setting seems to be feasible. The primary objective of this review was to compare the existing guidelines and review the literature regarding choice and duration of empiric antibiotic in managing suspected early-onset neonatal sepsis.Methods: Two Malaysian Ministry of Health guidelines were compared with guidelines from America (n=1), Australi...
