Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Percentage of patients attaining the ceftazidime PK-PD target of 50%T>MIC. This will be investigated for patients with adequate renal function receiving a regular ceftazidime dose and impaired renal function receiving a guideline recommended reduced dose. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To investigate whether the current dosing regimen of ceftazidime, recommended by the SWAB guideline and applied at Amsterdam UMC, location AMC for adult patients with various degrees of renal function on general wards, results in PK-PD target attainment of 50%T>MIC after 24-48 hours of therapy. To investigate whether the current dosing regimen of ceftazidime, recommended by the SWAB guideline and applied at Amsterdam UMC, location AMC for adult patients with various degrees of renal function on general wards, results in PK-PD target attainment of 100%T>MIC during the first 24 hours of therapy. To compare ceftazidime exposure at 24 hours and 24-48 hours after start of treatment between three different renal function groups in terms of AUC and Cmin. (Group A: eGFR *50ml/min/1.73m2 treated with standard doses of ceftazidime, Group B: eGFR 49-30ml/min/1.73m2 treated with reduced doses of ceftazidime and Group C: eGFR 29-10 ml/min/1.73m2 treated with reduced doses of ceftazidime). If a large proportion, defined as a percentage of 25% or a minimum of 10 patients, does not attain the primary objective (50%T>MIC), we will explore whether or not attaining this target is associated with patients* clinical outcome, in terms of: length of hospital stay (LOS), since start of ceftazidime treatment, admission to and duration of ICU stay after start of ceftazidime treatment, 30 days mortality after start of ceftazidime treatment, antibiotic switch to carbapenems (meropenem, imipenem or ertapenem) within 30 days after start of treatment with ceftazidime and days of fever after start of treatment with ceftazidime | — |
