The aim of this study was to assess the influence of renal function, in particular the presence of augmented renal clearance (ARC), on the pharmacokinetics of linezolid in critically ill patients. The effect of continuous infusion on the probability of therapeutic success from a pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) perspective was also evaluated.
