Appropriate Use of Blood Cultures in the Emergency Department Through Machine Learning

Sponsor: Amsterdam UMC, location VUmc

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to study whether the use of our blood culture prediction tool is non-inferior to current practice and if it can improve certain outcomes in all adult patients presenting to the emergency department with a clinical indication for a blood culture analysis (according to the treating physician). The primary endpoint is 30-day mortality. Key secondary outcomes are: * hospital admission rates * in-hospital mortality * hospital length-of-stay. In the intervention group, the physician will follow the advice of our blood culture prediction tool. In the comparison group all patients will undergo a blood culture analysis.
