: This study is an observational study that fell within routine practice with nonadditional diagnostic and monitoring procedures applied to the patient. During period 1 data derived from routine clinical care were retrospectively analyzed. During period 2, the unit switched its blood culture sampling strategy; data were prospectively collected but strictly corresponded to the routine care of the patients with no additional intervention. Thus, research concerns only data derived from the routine care of the patient. In this context, the Ethics Advisory Committee waived the requirement to obtain a signed informed consent document, as accepted for research procedures involving no risk for the patient.
