摘要
These findings provide a means of stratifying hospitalized patients according to their risk for bacteremia. If prospectively validated in other settings, this model may be helpful when deciding whether or not to do blood cultures or start antibiotic therapy and, when evaluating a positive blood culture, to determine whether or not it is a true-positive.
