Abstract
PURPOSE We aimed to identify factors associated with achieving target BL plasma concentrations and describe real world data for therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). METHODS A retrospective single center study was conducted. We collected data from patients admitted to ICU with at least one BL TDM. We assessed the proportion of patients attaining the recommended plasma concentrations (i.e 100%fT > 4 to 8 MIC). Univariate and multivariate analyses was performed to identify the determinants of BL target attainment. RESULTS 156 patients were included. At the first dosing, 34% achieved target BL plasma concentrations, 50% were overdosed, and 16% were underdosed. Median time for 1st TDM were 4 (SD = 2.9) days. Multivariate analysis revealed that CKD-EPI estimated glomerular filtration rate (OR = 1.02; CI [1.01; 1.03]; p < 0.0001) and total body weight (OR = 1.03; CI [1.01; 1.04]; p = 0.0048) were the main determinant of BL target attainment. Conversely, Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (OR = 0.28; CI [0.09; 0.89]; p = 0.0318) and meropenem use (OR = 0.31; CI [0.14; 0.69]; p = 0.0041) were identified as risk factors for overdosing. No factor was associated with underdosing. CONCLUSION Achieving target BL plasma concentrations remains challenging in ICUs. Identifying predictive factors of BL target attainment would favor implementing rapid dosing optimization strategies in both under and overdosing high risk patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Antibiotic concentration target attainment is known to be poor in critically ill patients. Dose adjustment is recommended in patients with altered clearance, obesity and those with bacterial species with intermediate susceptibility. The aim of this study was to investigate the variation of antibiotic concentration in critically ill patients with standard or adjusted dosing regimens. METHODS The concentration of three beta-lactam antibiotics used in the intensive care unit (ICU) setting, cefotaxime, piperacillin/tazobactam, and meropenem, was measured in patients with confirmed or suspected infection. Mid-dose and trough values were collected during a single dosing interval. The pharmacokinetic endpoints were a free antibiotic concentration that, during the whole dosing interval, was above MIC (100% ƒT > MIC, primary endpoint) or above four times MIC (100% ƒT > 4MIC, secondary endpoint). Non-species related MIC breakpoints were used (1 mg/L for cefotaxime, 8 mg/L for piperacillin/tazobactam, and 2 mg/L for meropenem). RESULTS We included 102 patients (38 cefotaxime, 30 piperacillin/tazobactam, and 34 meropenem) at a single ICU, with a median age of 66 years. In total, 73% were males, 40% were obese (BMI ≥30) and the median SAPS 3 score was 63 points. Of all patients, 78 patients (76%) reached the primary endpoint (100%ƒT > MIC), with 74% for cefotaxime, 67% for piperacillin/tazobactam and 88% for meropenem. Target attainment for 100% ƒT > 4MIC was achieved in 40 (39%) patients, overall, with 34% for cefotaxime, 30% for piperacillin/tazobactam and 53% for meropenem. In patients with standard dose 71% attained 100%ƒT > MIC and 37% for 100%ƒT > 4MIC. All patients with reduced dose attained 100%ƒT > MIC and 27% attained 100% ƒT > 4MIC. In patients with increased dose 79% attained 100%ƒT > MIC and 48% 100%ƒT > 4MIC respectively. CONCLUSIONS Beta-lactam antibiotics concentration vary widely in critically ill patients. The current standard dosing regimens employed during the study were not sufficient to reach 100% ƒT > MIC in approximately a quarter of the patients. In patients where dose adjustment was performed, the group with increased dose also had low target attainment, as opposed to patients with dose reduction, who all reached target. This suggests the need for further individualization of dosing where therapeutic drug monitoring can be an alternative to further increase target attainment.

Abstract
The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the predictors associated with target concentration (non-)attainment of imipenem in critically ill patients. The secondary objective was to explore the correlation between achieving imipenem target concentrations and clinical outcomes of therapy. A retrospective cohort study was conducted in critically ill patients treated with imipenem. Clinical data were extracted from the patients' electronic medical records. The pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic target was defined as free imipenem concentrations above the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the pathogen at 100% (100%fT>MIC) of the dosing interval. Factors associated with the non-attainment of target concentrations were evaluated using binomial logistic regression. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to investigate the correlation between (non-)attainment targets and 30-day mortality. A total of 406 patients were included, and 55.4% achieved the target of 100%fT>MIC. Regression analysis identified an initial daily dose of imipenem ≤ 2 g/day, augmented renal clearance, age ≤ 60 years, recent surgery, and absence of positive microbiology culture as risk factors for target non-attainment. Achieving the 100%fT>MIC target was significantly associated with clinical efficacy but not with 30-day mortality. Selective application of therapeutic drug monitoring in the early stages of imipenem treatment for critically ill patients can improve clinical outcomes. Further research should explore the potential benefits of TDM-guided dosing strategies for imipenem in critical care settings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Temporal changes in the microbiological resistance profile have been reported in several life-threatening infections. However, no data have ever assessed this issue in postoperative peritonitis (POP). Our purpose was to assess the rate of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) in POP over a two-decade period and to analyse their influence on the adequacy of empirical antibiotic therapy (EAT). METHODS This retrospective monocentric analysis (1999-2019) addressed the changes over time in microbiologic data, including the emergence of MDROs and the adequacy of EAT for all intensive care unit adult patients treated for POP. The in vitro activities of 10 antibiotics were assessed to determine the most adequate EAT in the largest number of cases among 17 antibiotic regimens in patients with/without MDRO isolates. Our primary endpoint was to determine the frequency of MDRO and their temporal changes. Our second endpoint assessed the impact of MDROs on the adequacy of EAT per patient and their temporal changes based on susceptibility testing. In this analysis, the subgroup of patients with MDRO was compared with the subgroup of patients free of MDRO. RESULTS A total of 1,318 microorganisms were cultured from 422 patients, including 188 (45%) patients harbouring MDROs. The growing proportions of MDR Enterobacterales were observed over time (p = 0.016), including ESBL-producing strains (p = 0.0013), mainly related to Klebsiella spp (p < 0.001). Adequacy of EAT was achieved in 305 (73%) patients. Decreased adequacy rates were observed when MDROs were cultured [p = 0.0001 vs. MDRO-free patients]. Over the study period, decreased adequacy rates were reported for patients receiving piperacillin/tazobactam in monotherapy or combined with vancomycin and imipenem/cilastatin combined with vancomycin (p < 0.01 in the three cases). In patients with MDROs, the combination of imipenem/cilastatin + vancomycin + amikacin or ciprofloxacin reached the highest adequacy rates (95% and 91%, respectively) and remained unchanged over time. CONCLUSIONS We observed high proportions of MDRO in patients treated for POP associated with increasing proportions of MDR Enterobacterales over time. High adequacy rates were only achieved in antibiotic combinations involving carbapenems and vancomycin, while piperacillin/tazobactam is no longer a drug of choice for EAT in POP in infections involving MDRO.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The efficacy of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM)-based antimicrobial dosing optimization strategies on pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics and specific drug properties for critically ill patients is unclear. Here, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials to evaluate the effectiveness of TDM-based regimen in these patients. METHODS Articles from three databases were systematically retrieved to identify relevant randomized control studies. Version two of the Cochrane tool for assessing risk of bias in randomized trials was used to assess the risk of bias in studies included in the analysis, and quality assessment of evidence was graded using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation approach. Primary outcome was the 28-day mortality and secondary outcome were in-hospital mortality, clinical cure, length of stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) and target attainment at day 1 and 3. RESULTS In total, 5 studies involving 1011 patients were included for meta-analysis of the primary outcome, of which no significant difference was observed between TDM-based regimen and control groups (risk ratio [RR] 0.94, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.77-1.14; I2 = 0%). In-hospital mortality (RR 0.96, 95% CI: 0.76-1.20), clinical cure (RR 1.23, 95% CI: 0.91-1.67), length of stay in the ICU (mean difference 0, 95% CI: - 2.18-2.19), and target attainment at day 1 (RR 1.14, 95% CI: 0.88-1.48) and day 3 (RR 1.35, 95% CI: 0.90-2.03) were not significantly different between the two groups, and all evidence for the secondary outcomes had a low or very low level of certainty because the included studies had serious risk of bias, variation of definition for outcomes, and small sample sizes. CONCLUSION TDM-based regimens had no significant efficacy for clinical or pharmacological outcomes. Further studies with other achievable targets and well-defined outcomes are required.

Abstract
Various studies have reported insufficient beta-lactam concentrations in critically ill patients. The optimal dosing strategy for beta-lactams in critically ill patients, particularly in septic patients, is an ongoing matter of discussion. This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the success of software-guided empiric meropenem dosing (CADDy, Calculator to Approximate Drug-Dosing in Dialysis) with subsequent routine meropenem measurements and expert clinical pharmacological interpretations. Adequate therapeutic drug exposure was defined as concentrations of 8-16 mg/L, whereas concentrations of 16-24 mg/L were defined as moderately high and concentrations >24 mg/L as potentially harmful. A total of 91 patients received meropenem as a continuous infusion (229 serum concentrations), of whom 60% achieved 8-16 mg/L, 23% achieved 16-24 mg/L, and 10% achieved unnecessarily high and potentially harmful meropenem concentrations >24 mg/L in the first 48 h using the dosing software. No patient showed concentrations <2 mg/L using the dosing software in the first 48 h. With a subsequent TDM-guided dose adjustment, therapeutic drug exposure was significantly (p ≤ 0.05) enhanced to 70%. No patient had meropenem concentrations >24 mg/L with TDM-guided dose adjustments. The combined use of dosing software and consecutive TDM promised a high rate of adequate therapeutic drug exposures of meropenem in patients with sepsis and septic shock.

Abstract
Augmented Renal Clearance (ARC) refers to the increased renal clearance of circulating solute in critically ill patients. In this study, the analytical research method of transcriptomics combined with metabolomics was used to study the pathogenesis of ARC at the transcriptional and metabolic levels. In transcriptomics, 534 samples from 5 datasets in the Gene Expression Omnibus database were analyzed and 834 differential genes associated with ARC were obtained. In metabolomics, we used Ultra-Performance Liquid Chromatography-Quadrupole Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry to determine the non-targeted metabolites of 102 samples after matching propensity scores, and obtained 45 differential metabolites associated with ARC. The results of the combined analysis showed that purine metabolism, arginine biosynthesis, and arachidonic acid metabolism were changed in patients with ARC. We speculate that the occurrence of ARC may be related to the alteration of renal blood perfusion by LTB4R, ARG1, ALOX5, arginine and prostaglandins E2 through inflammatory response, as well as the effects of CA4, PFKFB2, PFKFB3, PRKACB, NMDAR, glutamate and cAMP on renal capillary wall permeability.

Abstract
Evidence-based, standard antibiotic therapy for ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) caused by carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) is a relevant unmet clinical need in the intensive care unit (ICU). We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of first-line therapy with old and novel CRAB active antibiotics in monomicrobial VAP caused by CRAB. A prospective, observational study was performed in a mixed non-COVID-19 ICU. The primary outcome measure was clinical failure upon first-line targeted therapy. Features independently influencing failure occurrence were also investigated via Cox proportional multivariable analysis. To account for the imbalance in antibiotic treatment allocation, a propensity score analysis with an inverse probability treatment weighting approach was adopted. Of the 90 enrolled patients, 34 (38%) experienced clinical failure. Compared to patients who experienced a clinical resolution of VAP, those who had clinical failure were of an older age (median age 71 (IQR 64-78) vs. 62 (IQR 52-69) years), and showed greater burden of comorbidities (median Charlson comorbidity index 8 (IQR 6-8) vs. 4 (IQR 2-6)), higher frequency of immunodepression (44% vs. 21%), and greater clinical severity at VAP onset (median SOFA score 10 (IQR 9-11) vs. 9 (IQR 7-11)). Lower rates of use of fast molecular diagnostics for nosocomial pneumonia (8.8% vs. 30.3%) and of timely CRAB active therapy administration (65% vs. 89%), and higher rates of colistin-based targeted therapy (71% vs. 46%) were also observed in patients who failed first-line therapy. Overall, CRAB active iv regimens were colistin-based in 50 patients and cefiderocol-based in 40 patients, both always combined with inhaled colistin. According to the backbone agent of first-line regimens, clinical failure was lower in the cefiderocol group, compared to that in the colistin group (25% vs. 48%, respectively). In multivariable Cox regression analysis, the burden of comorbid conditions independently predicted clinical failure occurrence (Charlson index aHR = 1.21, 95% CI = 1.04-1.42, p = 0.01), while timely targeted antibiotic treatment (aHR = 0.40, 95% CI = 0.19-0.84, p = 0.01) and cefiderocol-based first-line regimens (aHR = 0.38, 95% CI = 0.17-0.85, p = 0.02) strongly reduced failure risk. In patients with VAP caused by CRAB, timely active therapy improves infection outcomes and cefiderocol holds promise as a first-line therapeutic option.

Abstract
Beta-lactams (BL) are the first line agents for the antibiotic management of critically ill patients with sepsis or septic shock. BL are hydrophilic antibiotics particularly subject to unpredictable concentrations in the context of critical illness because of pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) alterations. Thus, during the last decade, the literature focusing on the interest of BL therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) in the intensive care unit (ICU) setting has been exponential. Moreover, recent guidelines strongly encourage to optimize BL therapy using a PK/PD approach with TDM. Unfortunately, several barriers exist regarding TDM access and interpretation. Consequently, adherence to routine TDM in ICU remains quite low. Lastly, recent clinical studies failed to demonstrate any improvement in mortality with the use of TDM in ICU patients. This review will first aim at explaining the value and complexity of the TDM process when translating it to critically ill patient bedside management, interpretating the results of clinical studies and discussion of the points which need to be addressed before conducting further TDM studies on clinical outcomes. In a second time, this review will focus on the future aspects of TDM integrating toxicodynamics, model informed precision dosing (MIPD) and “at risk” ICU populations that deserve further investigations to demonstrate positive clinical outcomes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Understanding the pharmacokinetics (PK) of antimicrobial drugs in pregnant women is crucial to provide effective and safe treatment. This study is part of a series that systematically reviews literature on the PK and analyzes if, based on the changed PK, evidence-based dosing regimens have been developed for adequate target attainment in pregnant women. This part focusses on antimicrobials other than penicillins and cephalosporins. METHODS A literature search was conducted in PubMed according to the PRISMA guidelines. Search strategy, study selection, and data extraction were independently performed by two investigators. Studies were labeled as relevant when information on the PK of antimicrobial drugs in pregnant women was available. Extracted parameters included bioavailability for oral drugs, volume of distribution (Vd) and clearance (CL), trough and peak drug concentrations, time of maximum concentration, area under the curve and half-life, probability of target attainment, and minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC). In addition, if developed, evidence-based dosing regimens were also extracted. RESULTS Of the 62 antimicrobials included in the search strategy, concentrations or PK data during pregnancy of 18 drugs were reported. Twenty-nine studies were included, of which three discussed aminoglycosides, one carbapenem, six quinolones, four glycopeptides, two rifamycines, one sulfonamide, five tuberculostatic drugs, and six others. Eleven out of 29 studies included information on both Vd and CL. For linezolid, gentamicin, tobramycin, and moxifloxacin, altered PK throughout pregnancy, especially in second and third trimester, has been reported. However, no target attainment was studied and no evidence-based dosing developed. On the other hand, the ability to reach adequate targets was assessed for vancomycin, clindamycin, rifampicin, rifapentine, ethambutol, pyrazinamide, and isoniazid. For the first six mentioned drugs, no dosage adaptations during pregnancy seem to be needed. Studies on isoniazid provide contradictory results. CONCLUSION This systematic literature review shows that a very limited number of studies have been performed on the PK of antimicrobials drugs-other than cephalosporins and penicillins-in pregnant women.

Abstract
Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of antibiotics is particularly important in populations with high pharmacokinetic variabilities, such as critically ill patients, leading to unpredictable plasma concentrations and clinical outcomes. Here, we i) describe an original method for the simultaneous quantification of ten antibiotics (cefepime, ceftazidime, ampicillin, piperacillin/tazobactam, cefotaxime, amoxicillin, cloxacillin, oxacillin, linezolid) using 5-sulfosalicylic acid dihydrate (SSA) solution for protein precipitation together with 2D-LC-MS/MS, and ii) evaluate its impact in a one-year retrospective study. The method involved simple dilution with an aqueous mix of deuterated internal standards and plasma protein precipitation with SSA. Twenty microliters of the supernatant was injected into a C8 SPE online cartridge (30 × 2.1 mm) without any evaporation step and back-flushed onto a C18 UHPLC (100 × 2.1 mm) analytical column. Mass spectrometry detection (Xevo TQD) was performed in positive electrospray, in scheduled MRM mode. Overall analytical runtime was 7 min. Due to analytical constraints and the physicochemical properties of the antibiotics, protein precipitation using organic solvents could not be applied. As an alternative, SSA used with 2D-LC offered various advantages: i) lack of dilution resulting in better assay sensitivity, and ii) good chromatography of hydrophilic compounds. Ten microliters of 30% SSA in water eliminated>90% of plasma proteins, including the most abundant high molecular weight proteins at 55 and 72 kDa. The assay was successfully validated according to FDA and EMA guidelines for all the antibiotics, and the coefficients of variation of the quality control (QC) run during sample analysis over one year were below 10%, whatever the QC levels or the antibiotics. The use of 2D-LC combined with SSA precipitation allowed development of a robust, sensitive and rapid quantification assay. Feedback to clinicians was reduced to 24 h, thus allowing rapid dosage adjustment. During one year, 3,304 determinations were performed in our laboratory: 41% were not in the therapeutic range, 58% of which were sub-therapeutic, underlining the importance of early TDM of antibiotics to limit therapeutic failures and the emergence of bacterial resistance.

Abstract
Background: Dosing strategies of β-lactams and vancomycin should be optimized according to pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic principles. However, there is no available data indicating the implementation of extended infusion (EI) or continuous infusion (CI) administration in the management of neonatal sepsis. Methods: A nationwide cross-sectional survey was conducted and the pediatricians from 31 provinces in China were enrolled. A multidisciplinary team created the questionnaire, which had three sections and a total of 21 questions with open- and closed-ended responses. The survey was then conducted using an internet platform in an anonymous way. The data was eventually gathered, compiled, and examined. To identify the risk factors associated with the implementation of EI/CI, logistic regression was carried out. Results: A total of 1501 respondents answered the questionnaires. The implementation of EI/CI of β-lactams and vancomycin were only available to one-third of the respondents, and the prolonged strategy was primarily supported by guidelines (71.25%) and advice from medical specialists (55.18%). A significant fraction (72.94%-94.71%) lacked a strong understanding of the infusions' stability. Additionally, it was discovered that more frequent MDT discussions about antibiotic use and the appropriate time pediatricians worked in the neonatal ward were associated with an increase in the use of the EI/CI strategy. Conclusion: The EI/CI strategy in neonatal sepsis was not well recognized in China, and it is necessary to establish a solid MDT team with regularly collaborates. In the near future, guidelines regarding prolonged infusion management in neonatal sepsis should be developed.

Abstract
Inappropriate antibiotic use and associated consequences, including pathogen resistance and Clostridioides difficile infection, continue to serve as significant threats in the United States, with increasing incidence in the community setting. While much attention has been granted towards antimicrobial stewardship in acute care settings, the transition to the outpatient setting represents a significant yet overlooked area to target optimized antimicrobial utilization. In this article, we highlight notable areas for improved practices and present an interventional approach to stewardship tactics with a framework of disease, drug, dose, and duration. In doing so, we review current evidence regarding stewardship strategies at transitional settings, including diagnostic guidance, technological clinical support, and behavioral and educational approaches for both providers and patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Imipenem and relebactam are predominantly excreted via glomerular filtration. Augmented renal clearance (ARC) is a common syndrome in critically-ill patients with sepsis, and sub-therapeutic antibiotic concentrations are of concern. Herein, we describe the pharmacokinetics of imipenem/relebactam in critically-ill patients with ARC. METHODS Infected patients in the ICU with ARC (CLCR ≥ 130 mL/min) received a single dose of imipenem/cilastatin/relebactam 1.25 g as a 30 min infusion. Blood samples were collected over 6 h for concentration determination. Protein binding was assessed by ultrafiltration. An 8 h urine creatinine collection confirmed ARC. Population pharmacokinetic models with and without covariates were fit using the non-parametric adaptive grid algorithm in Pmetrics. A 5000 patient Monte Carlo simulation assessed joint PTA using relebactam fAUC/MIC ≥8 and imipenem ≥40% fT>MIC. RESULTS Eight patients with ARC completed the study. A base population pharmacokinetic model with two-compartments fitted the data best. The mean ± SD parameters were: CL, 17.31 ± 5.76 L/h; Vc, 16.15 ± 7.75 L; k12, 1.62 ± 0.99 h-1; and k21, 3.53 ± 3.31 h-1 for imipenem, and 11.51 ± 4.79 L/h, 16.54 ± 7.43 L, 1.59 ± 1.12 h-1, and 2.83 ± 2.91 h-1 for relebactam. Imipenem/cilastatin/relebactam 1.25 g as a 30 min infusion every 6 h achieved 100% and 93% PTA at MICs of 1 and 2 mg/L, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Despite enhanced clearance of both imipenem and relebactam, the currently approved dosing regimen for normal renal function was predicted to achieve optimal exposure in critically-ill patients with ARC sufficient to treat most susceptible pathogens.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES In critically ill children, severely altered pharmacokinetics may result in subtherapeutic β-lactam antibiotic concentrations when standard pediatric dosing regimens are applied. However, it remains unclear how to recognize patients most at risk for suboptimal exposure and their outcome. This study aimed to: 1) describe target attainment for β-lactam antibiotics in critically ill children, 2) identify risk factors for suboptimal exposure, and 3) study the association between target nonattainment and clinical outcome. DESIGN Post hoc analysis of the "Antibiotic Dosing in Pediatric Intensive Care" study (NCT02456974, 2012-2019). Steady-state trough plasma concentrations were classified as therapeutic if greater than or equal to the minimum inhibitory concentration of the (suspected) pathogen. Factors associated with subtherapeutic concentrations and clinical outcome were identified by logistic regression analysis. SETTING The pediatric and cardiac surgery ICU of a Belgian tertiary-care hospital. PATIENTS One hundred fifty-seven patients (aged 1 mo to 15 yr) treated intravenously with amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, piperacillin-tazobactam, or meropenem. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Three hundred eighty-two trough concentrations were obtained from 157 patients (median age, 1.25 yr; interquartile range, 0.4-4.2 yr). Subtherapeutic concentrations were measured in 39 of 60 (65%), 43 of 48 (90%), and 35 of 49 (71%) of patients treated with amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, piperacillin-tazobactam, and meropenem, respectively. Estimates of glomerular filtration rate (eGFR; 54% increase in odds for each sd increase in value, 95% CI, 0.287-0.736; p = 0.001) and the absence of vasopressor treatment (2.8-fold greater odds, 95% CI, 1.079-7.253; p = 0.034) were independently associated with target nonattainment. We failed to identify an association between antibiotic concentrations and clinical failure. CONCLUSIONS Subtherapeutic β-lactam concentrations are common in critically ill children and correlate with renal function. eGFR equations may be helpful in identifying patients who may require higher dosing. Future studies should focus on the impact of subtherapeutic concentrations on clinical outcome.

Abstract
Background Sepsis and continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) are both responsible for the alterations of the pharmacokinetics of antibiotics. For patients with sepsis receiving CRRT, the serum concentrations of meropenem in the early phase (< 48 h) was significantly lower than that in the late phase (> 48 h). This current trial aimed to investigate whether administration of a loading dose of meropenem results in a more likely achievement of the pharmacokinetic (PK)/pharmacodynamics (PD) target (100% fT > 4 × MIC) and better therapeutic results in the patients with sepsis receiving CRRT. Methods This is a single-blinded, single-center, randomized, controlled, two-arm, and parallel-group trial. This trial will be carried out in Guangzhou First People’s Hospital, School of Medicine, South China University of Technology Guangdong, China. Adult patients (age ≥ 18 years) with critical sepsis or sepsis-related shock receiving CRRT will be included in the study. The subjects will be assigned to the control group and the intervention group (LD group) randomly at a 1:1 ratio, the estimated sample size should be 120 subjects in each group. In the LD group, the patient will receive a loading dose of 1.5-g meropenem resolved in 30-ml saline which is given via central line for 30 min. Afterward, 0.75-g meropenem will be given immediately for 30 min every 8 h. In the control group, the patient will receive 0.75-g meropenem for 30 min every 8 h. The primary objective is the probabilities of PK/PD target (100% fT > 4 × MIC) achieved in the septic patients who receive CRRT in the first 48 h. Secondary objectives include clinical cure rate, bacterial clearance rate, sepsis-related mortality and all-cause mortality, the total dose of meropenem, duration of meropenem treatment, duration of CRRT, Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA), C-reactive protein levels, procalcitonin levels, white blood cell count, and safety. Discussion This trial will assess for the first time whether administration of a loading dose of meropenem results in a more likely achievement of the PK/PD target and better therapeutic results in the patients with sepsis receiving CRRT. Since CRRT is an important therapeutic strategy for sepsis patients with hemodynamic instability, the results from this trial may help to provide evidence-based therapy for septic patients receiving CRRT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent studies indicate that a high proportion of patients in the intensive care unit fail to attain adequate antibiotic levels. Thus, there is a need to monitor the antibiotic concentration to ensure effective treatment. In this article, the authors aimed to develop an ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) method for the simultaneous quantification of antimicrobials to assess individualized therapeutic drug monitoring. METHODS A UHPLC-MS/MS method with 11 antibiotics (ciprofloxacin, moxifloxacin, benzylpenicillin, levofloxacin, linezolid, rifampicin, meropenem, cloxacillin, cefotaxime, clindamycin, and piperacillin) was developed. Chromatographic separation was performed using a Kinetex Biphenyl reversed-phase column, with gradient elution using 0.1% formic acid and methanol with 0.1% formic acid. Sample preparation was performed using methanol protein precipitation. The total run time was 5 minutes. RESULTS For all analytes, the interassay inaccuracies for calibrators were ≤5%. The interday inaccuracies for the quality controls (QCs) were ≤5% for all analytes. The interassay precision for calibration standards ranged between 1.42% and 6.11%. The interassay imprecision for QCs of all antibiotics and concentrations ranged between 3.60% and 16.1%. Interassay inaccuracy and imprecision for the QCs and calibration standards were ≤15% for all drugs, except benzylpenicillin. CONCLUSIONS A rapid UHPLC-MS/MS method was developed for the simultaneous quantification of 11 different antibiotics. Minimal sample preparation was required to ensure a rapid turnaround time. The method was applied to clinical samples collected from 4 intensive care units.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Antibiotics are commonly prescribed in critical care, and given the large variability of pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters in these patients, drug PK frequently varies during therapy with the risk of either treatment failure or toxicity. Therefore, adequate antibiotic dosing in critically ill patients is very important. AREAS COVERED This review provides an overview of the basic principles of PK and pharmacodynamics of antibiotics and the main patient and pathogen characteristics that may affect the dosage of antibiotics and different approaches to adjust doses. EXPERT OPINION Dose adjustment should be done for aminoglycosides and glycopeptides based on daily drug concentration monitoring. For glycopeptides, in particular vancomycin, the residual concentration (Cres) should be assessed daily. For beta-lactam antibiotics, a loading dose should be administered, followed by three different possible approaches, as TDM is rarely available in most centers: 1) antibiotic regimens should be adapted according to renal function and other risk factors; 2) nomograms or software can be used to calculate daily dosing; 3) TDM should be performed 24-48 h after the initiation of treatment; however, the results are required within 24 hours to appropriately adjust dosage regimens. Drug dosing should be reduced or increased according to the TDM results.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the relationship between red blood cell distribution width (RDW) and all-cause death in critical diabetic patients with acute kidney injury (AKI). METHODS The clinical data of critical diabetic patients with AKI in MIMIC-III database were analyzed retrospectively. According to the survival status of 28-day after AKI and levels of RDW, patients were divided into survival and death groups, high RDW (RDW > 15.3%) and low RDW groups (RDW ≤ 15.3%). Kaplan-Meier curves were used to compare the survival rates of diabetic patients with AKI in different RDW and AKI stages, and Cox regression analysis was used to evaluate the risk factors of 28-day all-cause death in critical diabetic patients with AKI. RESULTS A total of 5200 patients with critical diabetic patients with AKI were included in this study with the male to female ratio of 1.53:1. The mean follow-up time was 24.97 ± 7.14 days, and the 28-day all-cause mortality was 17.9% (931/5200). Age, RDW, blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, lactic acid, proportion of AKI stage, sepsis and respiratory failure in the death group were higher than those in the survival group, while mean arterial pressure (MAP) and red blood cell count were lower than those in the survival group. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the 28-day survival rate of the high RDW group was significantly lower than that of the low RDW group (log-rank χ 2 = 9.970, P = 0.002). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that advanced age (HR = 1.042, 95% CI = 1.021-1.063), decreased MAP (HR = 0.984, 95% CI = 0.969-0.998), stage 3 AKI (HR = 3.318, 95% CI = 1.598-6.890) and increased RDW (HR = 1.255, 95% CI = 1.123-1.403) were independent risk factors of 28-day all-cause death in critical diabetic patients with AKI (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION High level of RDW is an important risk factor of all-cause death in critical diabetic patients with AKI, and it may be used as a valuable index to classify the mortality.

Abstract
PURPOSE We hypothesized that a protocol of standardized fixed dose using prolonged infusion during the early phase of sepsis may avoid insufficient β-lactam concentrations. METHODS In this single center prospective study, patients with sepsis and vasopressors were enrolled if they were treated by either piperacillin-tazobactam, meropenem or cefepime. Βeta-lactams were administered at fixed dose by prolonged infusion. Targeted plasma concentrations for piperacillin, meropenem and cefepime were above 80 mg/L, 8 mg/L and 38 mg/L respectively. Three blood samples were collected per patient over the first 48 h of treatment. Primary endpoint was target concentration achievement during the 48 first hours, defined as all plasma concentrations above the targeted threshold. RESULTS Among the 89 patients completing the three samples, target concentrations were achieved for 61 (69%). Target concentrations were achieved in 20 (53%), 32 (89%), and 9 (60%) of the patients treated with piperacillin, meropenem and cefepime, respectively. By multivariate analysis, lower APACHE 2 score, higher baseline MDRD creatinine clearance, and piperacillin use were independently associated with insufficient β-lactam concentrations. CONCLUSION Despite a fixed dose antibiotic administration protocol with prolonged infusion insufficient β-lactam concentration was frequent at the early phase of sepsis, especially in less severe patients, without renal failure, and treated with piperacillin. In septic patients with vasopressors, piperacillin dosing higher than 16 g may be needed to achieve the recommended target concentration. TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT02820987.

Abstract
Introduction Severe burn injury involves widespread skin and tissue damage leading to systemic inflammation, hypermetabolism and multi‐organ failure. The hypermetabolic phase of burn injury has been associated with increased systemic antibiotic clearance; however, critical illness in the absence of burn may also induce similar physiologic changes. Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is often implemented in critically ill patients and may also affect antibiotic clearance. Although the pharmacokinetics (PK) of meropenem has been described in both the burn and non‐burn critically ill populations, direct comparative data is lacking. Methods For this study, we evaluated PK parameters of meropenem from 23 critically ill patients, burn or non‐burn, treated with or without continuous veno‐venous haemofiltration (CVVH) to determine the contribution of burn and CVVH to the variability of therapeutic meropenem levels. Results A two‐compartment model best described the data and revealed creatinine clearance (CrCl) and total burn surface area (TBSA) as significant covariates on clearance (CL) and peripheral volume of distribution (Vp), respectively. Of interest, non‐burn patients on CVVH displayed an overall lower inherent CL as compared to burn patients on CVVH (6.43 vs. 12.85 L/h). Probability of target attainment (PTA) simulations revealed augmented renal clearance (ARC) may necessitate dose adjustments, but TBSA and CVVH would not. Conclusions We recommend a standard dose of 1000 mg every 8 hours; however, if ARC is suspected, or the severity of illness requires a more stringent therapeutic target, we recommend a loading dose of 1000–2000 mg infused over 30 minutes to 1 hour followed by continuous infusion (3000–6000 mg over 24 hours), or intermittent infusion of 2000 mg every 8 hours.

Abstract
The Japanese Clinical Practice Guidelines for Management of Sepsis and Septic Shock 2020 (J-SSCG 2020), a Japanese-specific set of clinical practice guidelines for sepsis and septic shock created as revised from J-SSCG 2016 jointly by the Japanese Society of Intensive Care Medicine and the Japanese Association for Acute Medicine, was first released in September 2020 and published in February 2021. An English-language version of these guidelines was created based on the contents of the original Japanese-language version. The purpose of this guideline is to assist medical staff in making appropriate decisions to improve the prognosis of patients undergoing treatment for sepsis and septic shock. We aimed to provide high-quality guidelines that are easy to use and understand for specialists, general clinicians, and multidisciplinary medical professionals. J-SSCG 2016 took up new subjects that were not present in SSCG 2016 (e.g., ICU-acquired weakness [ICU-AW], post-intensive care syndrome [PICS], and body temperature management). The J-SSCG 2020 covered a total of 22 areas with four additional new areas (patient- and family-centered care, sepsis treatment system, neuro-intensive treatment, and stress ulcers). A total of 118 important clinical issues (clinical questions, CQs) were extracted regardless of the presence or absence of evidence. These CQs also include those that have been given particular focus within Japan. This is a large-scale guideline covering multiple fields; thus, in addition to the 25 committee members, we had the participation and support of a total of 226 members who are professionals (physicians, nurses, physiotherapists, clinical engineers, and pharmacists) and medical workers with a history of sepsis or critical illness. The GRADE method was adopted for making recommendations, and the modified Delphi method was used to determine recommendations by voting from all committee members.As a result, 79 GRADE-based recommendations, 5 Good Practice Statements (GPS), 18 expert consensuses, 27 answers to background questions (BQs), and summaries of definitions and diagnosis of sepsis were created as responses to 118 CQs. We also incorporated visual information for each CQ according to the time course of treatment, and we will also distribute this as an app. The J-SSCG 2020 is expected to be widely used as a useful bedside guideline in the field of sepsis treatment both in Japan and overseas involving multiple disciplines.

Abstract
Treatment failure of antibiotic therapy due to insufficient efficacy or occurrence of toxicity is a major clinical challenge, and is expected to become even more urgent with the global rise of antibiotic resistance. Strategies to optimize treatment in individual patients are therefore of crucial importance. Currently, therapeutic drug monitoring plays an important role in optimizing antibiotic exposure to reduce treatment failure and toxicity. Biomarker-based strategies may be a powerful tool to further quantify and monitor antibiotic treatment response, and reduce variation in treatment response between patients. Host response biomarkers, such as CRP, procalcitonin, IL-6, and presepsin, could potentially carry significant information to be utilized for treatment individualization. To achieve this, the complex interactions among immune system, pathogen, drug, and biomarker need to be better understood and characterized. The purpose of this tutorial is to discuss the use and evidence of currently available biomarker-based approaches to inform antibiotic treatment. To this end, we also included a discussion on how treatment response biomarker data from preclinical, healthy volunteer, and patient-based studies can be further characterized using pharmacometric and system pharmacology based modeling approaches. As an illustrative example of how such modeling strategies can be used, we describe a case study in which we quantitatively characterize procalcitonin dynamics in relation to antibiotic treatments in patients with sepsis.

Abstract
A fundamental step in the successful management of sepsis and septic shock is early empiric antimicrobial therapy. However, for this to be effective, several decisions must be addressed simultaneously: (1) antimicrobial choices should be adequate, covering the most probable pathogens; (2) they should be administered in the appropriate dose, (3) by the correct route, and (4) using the correct mode of administration to achieve successful concentration at the infection site. In critically ill patients, antimicrobial dosing is a common challenge and a frequent source of errors, since these patients present deranged pharmacokinetics, namely increased volume of distribution and altered drug clearance, which either increased or decreased. Moreover, the clinical condition of these patients changes markedly over time, either improving or deteriorating. The consequent impact on drug pharmacokinetics further complicates the selection of correct drug schedules and dosing during the course of therapy. In recent years, the knowledge of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, drug dosing, therapeutic drug monitoring, and antimicrobial resistance in the critically ill patients has greatly improved, fostering strategies to optimize therapeutic efficacy and to reduce toxicity and adverse events. Nonetheless, delivering adequate and appropriate antimicrobial therapy is still a challenge, since pathogen resistance continues to rise, and new therapeutic agents remain scarce. We aim to review the available literature to assess the challenges, impact, and tools to optimize individualization of antimicrobial dosing to maximize exposure and effectiveness in critically ill patients.

Prolonged Infusion of β-Lactams Decreases Mortality in Patients with Septic Shock: A Retrospective before-and-after Study. Antibiotics (Basel) 2021; 10:antibiotics10060687. [PMID: 34201244 PMCID: PMC8229114 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics10060687] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [What about the content of this article?

Abstract
Septic shock substantially alters the pharmacokinetic properties of β-lactams with a subsequently high risk of insufficiently low serum concentrations and treatment failure. Considering their pharmacokinetic (PK)/pharmacodynamic (PD) index, prolonged infusions (PI) of β-lactams extend the time that the unbound fraction of the drug remains above the minimal inhibitory concentration MIC (ft >MIC) and may improve patient survival. The present study is a monocentric, retrospective before-and-after analysis of septic shock patients treated with β-lactams. Patients of the years 2015–2017 received intermittent bolus application whereas patients of 2017–2020 received PI of β-lactams. The primary outcome was mortality at day 30 and 90 after diagnosis of septic shock. Mortality rates in the PI group were significantly lower on day 30 (PI: 41%, n = 119/290 vs. IB: 54.8%, n = 68/114; p = 0.0097) and day 90 (PI: 47.9%, n = 139/290 vs. IB: 62.9%, n = 78/124; p = 0.005). After propensity-score matching, 30- and 90-day mortality remained lower for the PI group (−10%, p = 0.14). PI was further associated with a reduction in the duration of invasive ventilation and a stronger decrease in SOFA scores within a 14 day-observation period. PI of β-lactams was associated with a significant reduction of mortality in patients with septic shock and may have beneficial effects on invasive ventilation and recovery from sepsis-related organ failure.

Abstract
Optimization of antibiotic dosing is a treatment intervention that is likely to improve outcomes in severe infections. The aim of this retrospective study was to describe the therapeutic exposure of steady state piperacillin concentrations (cPIP) and clinical outcome in critically ill patients with sepsis or septic shock who received continuous infusion of piperacillin with dosing personalized through software-guided empiric dosing and therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). Therapeutic drug exposure was defined as cPIP of 32–64 mg/L (2–4× the ‘MIC breakpoint’ of Pseudomonas aeruginosa). Of the 1544 patients screened, we included 179 patients (335 serum concentrations), of whom 89% achieved the minimum therapeutic exposure of >32 mg/L and 12% achieved potentially harmful cPIP > 96 mg/L within the first 48 h. Therapeutic exposure was achieved in 40% of the patients. Subsequent TDM-guided dose adjustments significantly enhanced therapeutic exposure to 65%, and significantly reduced cPIP > 96 mg/L to 5%. Mortality in patients with cPIP > 96 mg/L (13/21; 62%) (OR 5.257, 95% CI 1.867–14.802, p = 0.001) or 64–96 mg/L (30/76; 45%) (OR 2.696, 95% CI 1.301–5.586, p = 0.007) was significantly higher compared to patients with therapeutic exposure (17/72; 24%). Given the observed variability in critically ill patients, combining the application of dosing software and consecutive TDM increases therapeutic drug exposure of piperacillin in patients with sepsis and septic shock.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Augmented renal clearance might lead to subtherapeutic plasma levels of drugs with predominant renal clearance. Early identification of augmented renal clearance remains challenging for the ICU physician. We developed and validated our augmented renal clearance predictor, a clinical prediction model for augmented renal clearance on the next day during ICU stay, and made it available via an online calculator. We compared its predictive performance with that of two existing models for augmented renal clearance. DESIGN Multicenter retrospective registry-based cohort study. SETTING Three Belgian tertiary care academic hospitals. PATIENTS Adult medical, surgical, and cardiac surgery ICU patients. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Development of the prediction model was based on clinical information available during ICU stay. Out of 33,258 ICU days, we found augmented renal clearance on 19.6% of all ICU days in the development cohort. We retained six clinical variables in our augmented renal clearance predictor: day from ICU admission, age, sex, serum creatinine, trauma, and cardiac surgery. We assessed performance by measuring discrimination, calibration, and net benefit. We externally validated the final model in a single-center population (n = 10,259 ICU days). External validation confirmed good performance with an area under the curve of 0.88 (95% CI 0.87-0.88) and a sensitivity and specificity of 84.1 (95% CI 82.5-85.7) and 76.3 (95% CI 75.4-77.2) at the default threshold probability of 0.2, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Augmented renal clearance on the next day can be predicted with good performance during ICU stay, using routinely collected clinical information that is readily available at bedside. Our augmented renal clearance predictor is available at www.arcpredictor.com.

Abstract
Background and Objective Ceftriaxone is a cornerstone antibiotic for critically ill children with severe infections. Despite its widespread use, information on the pharmacokinetics of ceftriaxone is lacking in this population. We aimed to determine ceftriaxone pharmacokinetics in critically ill children and to propose ceftriaxone dosing guidelines resulting in adequate target attainment using population pharmacokinetic modeling and simulation. Methods Critically ill children (aged 0–18 years) treated with intravenous ceftriaxone (100 mg/kg once daily, infused in 30 minutes) and a central or arterial line in place were eligible. Opportunistic blood sampling for total and unbound ceftriaxone concentrations was used. Population pharmacokinetic analysis was performed using non-linear mixed-effects modeling on NONMEM™ Version 7.4.3. Simulations were performed to select optimal doses using probability of target attainment for two pharmacokinetic targets of the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) reflecting the susceptibility of pathogens (f T > MIC 100% and fT > 4 × MIC 100%). Results Two hundred and five samples for total and 43 time-matched samples for unbound plasma ceftriaxone concentrations were collected from 45 patients, median age 2.5 (range 0.1–16.7) years. A two-compartment model with bodyweight as the co-variate for volume of distribution and clearance, and creatinine-based estimated glomerular filtration rate as an additional covariate for clearance, best described ceftriaxone pharmacokinetics. For a typical patient (2.5 years, 14 kg) with an estimated glomerular filtration rate of 80 mL/min/1.73 m2, the current 100-mg/kg once-daily dose results in a probability of target attainment of 96.8% and 60.8% for a MIC of 0.5 mg/L and 4 × MIC (2 mg/L), respectively, when using fT > MIC 100% as a target. For a 50-mg/kg twice-daily regimen, the probability of target attainment was 99.9% and 93.4%, respectively. Conclusions The current dosing regimen of ceftriaxone provides adequate exposure for susceptible pathogens in most critically ill children. In patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate of > 80 mL/min/1.73 m2 or in areas with a high prevalence of less-susceptible pathogens (MIC ≥ 0.5 mg/L), a twice-daily dosing regimen of 50 mg/kg can be considered to improve target attainment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pharmacokinetics (PK) are severely altered in critically ill patients due to changes in volume of distribution (Vd) and/or drug clearance (Cl). This affects the target attainment of antibiotics in critically ill children. We aimed to identify gaps in current knowledge and to compare published PK parameters and target attainment of antibiotics in critically ill children to healthy children and critically ill adults. METHODS Systematic literature search in PubMed, EMBASE and Web of Science. Articles were labelled as relevant when they included information on PK of antibiotics in critically ill, non-neonatal, pediatric patients. Extracted PK-parameters included Vd, Cl, (trough) concentrations, AUC, probability of target attainment, and elimination half-life. RESULTS 50 relevant articles were identified. Studies focusing on vancomycin were most prevalent (17/50). Other studies included data on penicillins, cephalosporins, carbapenems and aminoglycosides, but data on ceftriaxone, ceftazidime, penicillin and metronidazole could not be found. Critically ill children generally show a higher Cl and larger Vd than healthy children and critically ill adults. Reduced target-attainment was described in critically ill children for multiple antibiotics, including amoxicillin, piperacillin, cefotaxime, vancomycin, gentamicin, teicoplanin, amikacin and daptomycin. 38/50 articles included information on both Vd and Cl, but a dosing advice was given in only 22 articles. CONCLUSION The majority of studies focus on agents where TDM is applied, while other antibiotics lack data altogether. The larger Vd and higher Cl in critically ill children might warrant a higher dose or extended infusions of antibiotics in this patient population to increase target-attainment. Studies frequently fail to provide a dosing advice for this patient population, even if the necessary information is available. Our study shows gaps in current knowledge and encourages future researchers to provide dosing advice for special populations whenever possible.

Abstract
There is insufficient data on the relationship between antibiotic dosing and plasma concentrations in patients treated with continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). In this prospective observational study, we explored the variability in plasma concentrations of meropenem and piperacillin in critically ill patients treated with CRRT and the correlation between concentrations and CRRT intensity. Antibiotic concentrations were measured at the middle and end of the dosing interval and repeated after 2 to 3 days when feasible. Measured concentrations were compared to the clinical susceptible breakpoints for Pseudomonas aeruginosa, 16 and 2 mg/liter for piperacillin and meropenem, respectively. CRRT intensity was estimated by delivered, time-averaged, total effluent flow (Q eff), corrected for predilution. Concentrations were also compared between patients with different residual diuresis. We included 140 meropenem concentrations from 98 patients and 47 piperacillin concentrations from 37 patients. Concentrations at the middle of the dosing interval were above target at all occasions for both antibiotics. For meropenem, 6.5% of trough concentrations were below target, and for piperacillin, 22%. Correlations between Q eff and antibiotic concentrations or the concentration half-life (t 1/2) were either statistically not significant or weak. Meropenem concentrations and t 1/2 values differed between patients with different residual diuresis. Thus, when treating intensive care patients with CRRT and recommended doses of meropenem or piperacillin, both low, suboptimal plasma concentrations and unnecessarily high, potentially toxic, plasma concentrations are common. Plasma concentrations cannot be predicted from CRRT intensity. Residual diuresis is associated with lower meropenem concentrations, but the correlation is weak. Concentration measurement is probably the most useful approach to avoid suboptimal treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether established ceftolozane/tazobactam (C/T) dosing is adequate for patients with augmented renal clearance (ARC) and bacterial infection. METHODS ARC (creatinine clearance [CrCl] ≥ 130 mL/min) was confirmed by directly measured CrCl in 11 critically ill patients in a phase 1 pharmacokinetics study. Patients received 3 g C/T (ceftolozane 2 g/tazobactam 1 g) as a 60-minute intravenous infusion. Pharmacokinetic sampling occurred at 0 (predose), 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 hours after the start of the infusion. Noncompartmental analyses were conducted on concentration data. The following pharmacodynamic targets were evaluated: time that free (unbound) drug concentrations exceeded the minimum inhibitory concentration (fT>MIC) of 4 μg/mL for ceftolozane and time that the unbound concentration exceeded the 1 μg/mL target threshold (fT>threshold = 1 µg/mL) for > 20% of the dosing interval for tazobactam. Safety was evaluated. RESULTS Mean (SD) area under the plasma concentration-time curve from 0 to infinity, clearance and volume of distribution at steady state (Vss) were 236 (118) h*µg/mL, 10.4 (4.5) L/h and 30.8 (10.8) L, respectively, for ceftolozane; and 35.5 (18.5) h*µg/mL, 35.3 (16.5) L/h and 54.8 (20.1) L, respectively, for tazobactam. Clearance and Vss were higher for both ceftolozane and tazobactam in patients with ARC compared with healthy individuals. The mean estimated ceftolozane fT>MIC at 4 µg/mL was 86.4%; the mean estimated tazobactam fT>threshold = 1 µg/mL was 54.9%. Treatment-emergent adverse events were mild to moderate. CONCLUSIONS In patients with ARC, a 3 g C/T dose met respective pharmacodynamic targets for ceftolozane and tazobactam. CLINICALTRIALS. GOV IDENTIFIER NCT02387372.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION : Emerging studies suggest that antibiotic pharmacokinetics (PK) are difficult to predict in critically ill patients. The high intra- and inter-patient PK variability makes it challenging to accurately predict the appropriate dosage required for a given patient. Identifying patients at risk could help clinicians to consider more individualized dosing regimens and perform therapeutic drug monitoring. We provide an overview of relevant predictors associated with target (non-)attainment of β-lactam antibiotics in critically ill patients. AREAS COVERED : This narrative review summarizes patient and clinical characteristics that can help to predict the attainment of target serum concentrations and to provide guidance on antimicrobial dose optimization. Literature was searched using Embase and Medline database, focusing on β-lactam antibiotics in critically ill patients. EXPERT OPINION : Adequate concentration attainment can be anticipated in critically ill patients prior to initiating empiric β-lactam antibiotic therapy based on readily available demographic and clinical factors. Male gender, younger age, and augmented renal clearance were the most significant predictors for target non-attainment and should be considered in further investigations to develop dosing algorithms for optimal β-lactam therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This overview of reviews aims to map and compare of objectives, methods, and findings of existing systematic reviews to develop a greater understanding of the information available about prolonged beta-lactam infusions in hospitalized patients with infection. DESIGN Overview of systematic reviews. DATA SOURCES Medline, Embase, PROSPERO and the Cochrane Library were systematically searched from January, 1990 to June, 2019 using a peer reviewed search strategy. Grey literature was also searched for relevant reviews. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR SELECTING REVIEWS Systematic reviews were sought that compared two or more infusion strategies for intravenous beta-lactam antimicrobials and report clinical cure or mortality. Populations of included reviews were restricted to hospitalized patients with infection, without restrictions on age, infection type, or disease. DATA EXTRACTION AND ANALYSIS Abstract screening, data extraction, quality and risk of bias assessment were conducted by two independent reviewers. Overlap between reviews was assessed using a modified corrected covered area. Overview findings are reported in accordance with Cochrane's recommendation for overview conduct. Clinical outcomes extracted included survival, clinical cure, treatment failure, microbiological cure, length of stay, adverse events, cost, and emergence of resistance. RESULTS The search strategy identified 3327 unique citations from which 21 eligible reviews were included. Reviews varied by population, intervention and outcomes studied. Between reviews, overlap of primary studies was generally high, methodologic quality generally low and risk of bias variable. Nine of 14 reviews that quantitatively evaluated mortality and clinical cure identified a benefit with prolonged infusions of beta lactams when compared with intermittent infusions. Evidence of mortality and clinical cure benefit was greater among critically ill patients when compared to less sick patients and lower in randomized controlled trials when compared with observational studies. CONCLUSIONS Findings from our review demonstrate a consistent and reproducible lack of harm with prolonged infusions of beta-lactam antibiotics with variability in effect size and significance of benefits. Despite 21 systematic reviews addressing prolonged infusions of beta-lactams, this overview supports the continued need for a definitive systematic review given variability in populations, interventions and outcomes in the current systematic reviews. Subsequent systematic reviews should have more rigorous and transparent methods, only include RCTs and evaluate the proposed benefits found in various subgroup-analyses-i.e. high risk of mortality.

Abstract
The Japanese Clinical Practice Guidelines for Management of Sepsis and Septic Shock 2020 (J-SSCG 2020), a Japanese-specific set of clinical practice guidelines for sepsis and septic shock created as revised from J-SSCG 2016 jointly by the Japanese Society of Intensive Care Medicine and the Japanese Association for Acute Medicine, was first released in September 2020 and published in February 2021. An English-language version of these guidelines was created based on the contents of the original Japanese-language version. The purpose of this guideline is to assist medical staff in making appropriate decisions to improve the prognosis of patients undergoing treatment for sepsis and septic shock. We aimed to provide high-quality guidelines that are easy to use and understand for specialists, general clinicians, and multidisciplinary medical professionals. J-SSCG 2016 took up new subjects that were not present in SSCG 2016 (e.g., ICU-acquired weakness [ICU-AW], post-intensive care syndrome [PICS], and body temperature management). The J-SSCG 2020 covered a total of 22 areas with four additional new areas (patient- and family-centered care, sepsis treatment system, neuro-intensive treatment, and stress ulcers). A total of 118 important clinical issues (clinical questions, CQs) were extracted regardless of the presence or absence of evidence. These CQs also include those that have been given particular focus within Japan. This is a large-scale guideline covering multiple fields; thus, in addition to the 25 committee members, we had the participation and support of a total of 226 members who are professionals (physicians, nurses, physiotherapists, clinical engineers, and pharmacists) and medical workers with a history of sepsis or critical illness. The GRADE method was adopted for making recommendations, and the modified Delphi method was used to determine recommendations by voting from all committee members. As a result, 79 GRADE-based recommendations, 5 Good Practice Statements (GPS), 18 expert consensuses, 27 answers to background questions (BQs), and summaries of definitions and diagnosis of sepsis were created as responses to 118 CQs. We also incorporated visual information for each CQ according to the time course of treatment, and we will also distribute this as an app. The J-SSCG 2020 is expected to be widely used as a useful bedside guideline in the field of sepsis treatment both in Japan and overseas involving multiple disciplines.

Abstract
Antibiotics are one of the most prescribed drug classes in the pediatric intensive care unit, yet the incidence of inappropriate antibiotic prescribing remains high in critically ill children. Optimizing the use of antibiotics in this population is imperative to guarantee adequate treatment, avoid toxicity and the occurrence of antibiotic resistance, both on a patient level and on a population level. Antibiotic stewardship encompasses all initiatives to promote responsible antibiotic usage and the PICU represents a major target environment for antibiotic stewardship programs. This narrative review provides a summary of the available knowledge on the optimal selection, duration, dosage, and route of administration of antibiotic treatment in critically ill children. Overall, more scientific evidence on how to optimize antibiotic treatment is warranted in this population. We also give our personal expert opinion on research priorities.

Abstract
Objective: To characterize pharmacodynamic dosing strategies used at children’s hospitals using a national survey. Design: Survey. Setting: Children’s hospitals. Participants: Volunteer sample of antimicrobial stewardship program (ASP) respondents. Methods: A nationwide survey was conducted to gain greater insight into the current adoption of nontraditional dosing methods and monitoring of select β-lactam and fluoroquinolone antibiotics used to treat serious gram-negative infections in pediatric populations. The survey was performed through the Sharing Antimicrobial Reports for Pediatric Stewardship (SHARPS) Collaborative. Results: Of the 75 children’s hospitals that responded, 68% of programs reported adoption of pharmacodynamically optimized dosing using prolonged β-lactam infusions and 35% using continuous β-lactam infusions, although use was infrequent. Factors including routine MIC monitoring and formal postgraduate training and board certification of ASP pharmacists were associated with increased utilization of pharmacodynamic dosing. In addition, 60% of programs reported using pharmacodynamically optimized ciprofloxacin and 14% reported using pharmacodynamically optimized levofloxacin. Only 20% of programs monitored β-lactam levels; they commonly cited lack of published guidance, practitioner experience, and laboratomory support as reasons for lack of utilization. Less physician time dedicated to ASP programs was associated with lower adoption of optimized dosing. Conclusions: Use of pharmacodynamic dosing through prolonged and continuous infusions of β-lactams have not yet been routinely adopted at children’s hospitals. Further guidance from trials and literature are needed to continue to guide pediatric pharmacodynamic dosing efforts. Children’s hospitals should utilize these data to compare practices and to prioritize further research and education efforts.

Abstract
Pharmacokinetic modifications in critically ill patients and those induced by ICU therapeutics raise a lot of issues about antibiotic dose adaptation. Beta-lactams are anti-infectious widely used in ICU. Frequent beta-lactam underdoses induce a risk of therapeutic failure potentially lethal and of emergence of bacterial resistance. Overdoses expose to a neurotoxic and nephrotoxic risk. Therefore, an understanding of pharmacokinetics modifications appears to be essential. A global pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic approach is required, including use of prolonged or continued beta-lactam infusions to optimise probability of pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic target attainment. Beta-lactam therapeutic drug monitoring should also be considered. Experts agree to target a free plasma betalactam concentration above four times the MIC of the causative bacteria for 100 % of the dosing interval. Bayesian methods could permit individualized doses adaptations.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Intensive Care Units (ICU) are among the hospital wards exhibiting the highest prevalence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and resulting impact on patient outcomes. Antimicrobial resistance surveillance and antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) programs play a pivotal role in promoting interventions tailored to optimize infection diagnosis and treatment in the final attempt to limit unnecessary antimicrobial use and development of resistance. AREAS COVERED A narrative review of the literature was carried out to summarize the available evidence and develop a set of actions that should be considered for integration into the ICU stewardship framework. Four questions were addressed: how AMR surveillance can inform antibiotic policy in ICU; whether pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) principles and the use of procalcitonin should be incorporated as a standard practice in ICU AMS programs to optimize antibiotic treatment and to drive antibiotic discontinuation; which criteria should drive treatment duration of ICU-associated infections. EXPERT OPINION In this review we aim to highlight that the ICU must be considered in its own right. Each ICU has its own characteristics depending on the country, on the local antibiotic resistance profile, on the patients feature and the severity of infection.

Abstract
Background Sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) is a common complication of sepsis that may result in worse outcomes. This study was designed to determine the epidemiology, clinical features, and risk factors of SAE. Methods This was a retrospective study of all patients with sepsis who were admitted to the Critical Care Medicine Department of Hangzhou First People’s Hospital Affiliated with Zhejiang University School of Medicine from January 2015 to December 2019. Results A total of 291 sepsis patients were screened, and 127 (43.6%) were diagnosed with SAE. There were significant differences in median age, proportion of underlying diseases such as hypertension, Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) score, gastrointestinal infections, detection rate of Enterococcus, and 28-day mortality between the SAE and non-SAE groups. Both the SOFA score and APACHE II score were independent risk factors for SAE in patients with sepsis. All 127 SAE patients were divided into survival and non-survival groups. The age, SOFA score, and APACHE II score were independently associated with 28-day mortality in SAE patients. Conclusion In the present retrospective study, nearly half of patients with sepsis developed SAE, which was closely related to poor outcomes. Both the SOFA score and APACHE II score were independent risk factors for predicting the occurrence and adverse outcome of SAE.

Abstract
Background Assessment of kidney function is fundamental to optimize drug dosing. The Cockcroft-Gault (CG) equation is widely used but has questionable validity for females, changing renal function, and the critical ill. Eight-hour urine collections (U8h) offer direct measurement of creatinine clearance (CrCl) but lack the data for drug dosing. The primary objective of this study was to determine if there was a difference in renal drug dosing based on the estimation of CG CrCl (CrClCG) versus 8-h CrCl (CrCl8h). Methods This was an observational, retrospective cohort study of adult patients admitted between March 2018 and September 2018 with a collection U8h during hospitalization. The primary outcome was discordance of renal drug dosing defined as the percentage of U8h for which at least one different active medication CrCl dosing cutoff would result using the CrClCG versus CrCl8h. The secondary outcomes were correlation between CrClCG and CrCl8h and percentage of CrClCG values outside ± 20% of the CrCl8h. Results One hundred collections drawn from 85 unique patients (50.6% male, median age 55 [41-70] years, intensive care unit 88%) were included in the analysis. Median serum creatinine was 0.76 (0.52-1.06) mg/dL and blood urea nitrogen was 20 (14-28) mg/dL at time of collection8h. Median CrCl8h was 86.2 (43.5-140.3) mL/min versus 99.7 (56.5-166.9) mL/min CrClCG(P < 0.001) and discordance was 25%. The correlation between CrCl8h and CrClCG was 0.76 (P < 0.001). Only 31% of CrClCG values were within ± 20% of the CrCl8h value. Conclusion We found 25% discordance for drug dosing between CrCl8h and CrClCG. Further studies are needed to determine the impact on clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Background Early and appropriate antibiotic dosing is associated with improved clinical outcomes in critically ill patients, yet target attainment remains a challenge. Traditional antibiotic dosing is not suitable in critically ill patients, since these patients undergo physiological alterations that strongly affect antibiotic exposure. For beta-lactam antibiotics, the unbound plasma concentrations above at least one to four times the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) for 100% of the dosing interval (100%ƒT > 1–4×MIC) have been proposed as pharmacodynamic targets (PDTs) to maximize bacteriological and clinical responses. The objectives of this study are to describe the PDT attainment in critically ill patients and to identify risk factors for target non-attainment. Methods This prospective observational study was performed in two ICUs in the Netherlands. We enrolled adult patients treated with the following beta-lactam antibiotics: amoxicillin (with or without clavulanic acid), cefotaxime, ceftazidime, ceftriaxone, cefuroxime, and meropenem. Based on five samples within a dosing interval at day 2 of therapy, the time unbound concentrations above the epidemiological cut-off (ƒT > MICECOFF and ƒT > 4×MICECOFF) were determined. Secondary endpoints were estimated multivariate binomial and binary logistic regression models, for examining the association of PDT attainment with patient characteristics and clinical outcomes. Results A total of 147 patients were included, of whom 63.3% achieved PDT of 100%ƒT > MICECOFF and 36.7% achieved 100%ƒT > 4×MICECOFF. Regression analysis identified male gender, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥ 90 mL/min/1.73 m2, and high body mass index (BMI) as risk factors for target non-attainment. Use of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) and high serum urea significantly increased the probability of target attainment. In addition, we found a significant association between the 100%ƒT > MICECOFF target attainment and ICU length of stay (LOS), but no significant correlation was found for the 30-day survival. Conclusions Traditional beta-lactam dosing results in low target attainment in the majority of critically ill patients. Male gender, high BMI, and high eGFR were significant risk factors for target non-attainment. These predictors, together with therapeutic drug monitoring, may help ICU clinicians in optimizing beta-lactam dosing in critically ill patients.

Abstract
Background: Maximal dosing of early antimicrobials with high loading and maintenance doses may optimize pharmacokinetic parameters to achieve and maintain therapeutic concentrations at the site of infection in septic shock. Little is known about the current practice of early antimicrobial dosing in septic shock. Objective: To characterize early antimicrobial dosing in patients in the resuscitation phase of septic shock. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included patients admitted to the medical intensive care unit (ICU) with septic shock. The primary outcome was the percentage of early antibiotic orders that were maximal or conservative during the resuscitation (0 to 48 hours) phase based on predefined dosing criteria. The secondary outcomes were the correlations of different dosing strategies on hospital length of stay (LOS), ICU LOS, and hospital mortality. Results: This study evaluated 161 patients and 692 antibiotic orders; 504 (72.8%) of the orders during the resuscitation phase were conservative. There were no differences in mortality (odds ratio = 0.66; 95% confidence interval = 0.35-1.25; P = .20), hospital LOS (median = 20 [interquartile range (IQR) = 10-34] vs 19 [IQR = 11-32] days; P = .93), or ICU LOS (median = 8 [IQR = 5-16] vs 9 [IQR = 5-15] days; P = .63) between maximal and conservative dosing groups, respectively, in the resuscitation phase. Limitations of this study included the use of institution-specific antimicrobial dosing guidelines and its retrospective nature. Conclusions: Early antibiotic dosing is conservative for a majority of patients in septic shock. Future studies are needed to evaluate the impact of dosing strategy on patient-centered outcomes in septic shock.

Abstract
Introduction Antibiotic dosing in critically ill patients is challenging because their pharmacokinetics (PK) are altered and may change rapidly with disease progression. Standard dosing frequently leads to inadequate PK exposure. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) offers a potential solution but requires sampling and PK knowledge, which delays decision support. It is our philosophy that antibiotic dosing support should be directly available at the bedside through deep integration into the electronic health record (EHR) system. Therefore we developed AutoKinetics, a clinical decision support system (CDSS) for real time, model informed precision antibiotic dosing. Objective To provide a detailed description of the design, development, validation, testing, and implementation of AutoKinetics. Methods We created a development framework and used workflow analysis to facilitate integration into popular EHR systems. We used a development cycle to iteratively adjust and expand AutoKinetics functionalities. Furthermore, we performed a literature review to select and integrate pharmacokinetic models for five frequently prescribed antibiotics for sepsis. Finally, we tackled regulatory challenges, in particular those related to the Medical Device Regulation under the European regulatory framework. Results We developed a SQL-based relational database as the backend of AutoKinetics. We developed a data loader to retrieve data in real time. We designed a clinical dosing algorithm to find a dose regimen to maintain antibiotic pharmacokinetic exposure within clinically relevant safety constraints. If needed, a loading dose is calculated to minimize the time until steady state is achieved. Finally, adaptive dosing using Bayesian estimation is applied if plasma levels are available. We implemented support for five extensively used antibiotics following model development, calibration, and validation. We integrated AutoKinetics into two popular EHRs (Metavision, Epic) and developed a user interface that provides textual and visual feedback to the physician. Conclusion We successfully developed a CDSS for real time model informed precision antibiotic dosing at the bedside of the critically ill. This holds great promise for improving sepsis outcome. Therefore, we recently started the Right Dose Right Now multi-center randomized control trial to validate this concept in 420 patients with severe sepsis and septic shock.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The present study aimed to compare the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) parameters of imipenem administered by two-step (50% delivered in a 30-min bolus, 50% for the following 90 min) or extended (administered continuously for 2 h) infusion. METHODS Patients with sepsis and septic shock were prospectively enrolled and randomized into four groups. Subjects in the two-step or extended groups were given two doses of imipenem (0.5 g q6h and 1.0 g q8h). The plasma imipenem concentrations were measured at given time points after the fifth dose. The PK/PD target was defined as the achievement of a fractional time above the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of > 40%. RESULTS Thirty-five patients were eventually enrolled. No significant difference was observed in the percentage of patients achieving 40% T > MIC between the different infusion modes with the same dosage, although the two-step groups exhibited a significantly shorter Tmax compared with the extended groups (0.5 g q6h: 1.5 ± 0.8 vs. 2.0 ± 0.0 h; 1.0 g q8h: 1.0 ± 0.6 vs. 2.0 ± 0.0 h; both, p < 0.05). All four groups achieved 40% T > MIC when MIC was 0.5-4.0 μg/ml, but only regimens with a higher dose (1.0 g q8h) achieved target when MIC was 8 μg/ml. CONCLUSION The two-step and extended regimens of imipenem are comparable to the PK/PD target in the treatment of sepsis and septic shock. A higher dose (1.0 g q8h) should be considered for target achievement at an MIC of > 8 μg/ml. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov identifier, NCT02616354.
