Urzula Nora Urbāne is an Acting Assistant in the Department of Paediatrics at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Latvia. She is actively involved in international research collaborations, notably the PERFORM consortium, focusing on improving the management of febrile children in emergency settings across Europe. Her work integrates clinical research, biomarker analysis, and machine learning to develop and validate prediction models for serious bacterial infections. Research Interests: Dr. Urbāne's research spans pediatric infectious diseases, antimicrobial stewardship, clinical prediction modeling, and host response biomarkers. She investigates how biomarkers like procalcitonin and host protein signatures can differentiate bacterial from viral infections in febrile children, aiming to reduce unnecessary antibiotic use. Her work also explores behavioral aspects such as parental reassurance and its impact on clinical decisions. Recent Research Trends: Her recent publications (2021–2025) are centered on the PERFORM study, employing multicenter observational designs, machine learning, and validation of clinical prediction tools. These studies focus on high-risk pediatric populations, antimicrobial prescribing patterns in Europe, and the diagnostic performance of novel biomarkers. Scientific Engagement: She has delivered oral presentations at research events, including on predictive models for serious bacterial infections in febrile children. Her work has been referenced in patents and disseminated via social media and academic platforms.
