Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Total bound plasma concentrations of piperacillin (and unbound plasma concentrations of piperacillin as well as tazobactam plasma concentrations when feasible in our laboratory); PK parameters; APACHE II; target attainment at different time intervals based on predefined microbiological targets based on MICs of specific micro-organisms; microbiological outcome; clinical outcome | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - Assessment of relationship between PK parameters and APACHE II score - To evaluate outcome in terms of ICU-mortality; mortality at day 28 after inclusion; cause of death; microbiological success (eradication of P/T-susceptible micro-organism) or failure (development of P/T-resistance in previously susceptible micro-organism) - Assessment of reliability of determination of free fraction of P/T from the bound fraction and routinely collected parameters (e.g. serum albumin) - when tazobactam concentration measurements are available. - Determination of P/T ratio change in organ failure -when tazobactam concentration measurements are available. | — |
