Dear Editor, In intensive care settings, augmented renal clearance (ARC) is recognized as a leading cause of subtherapeutic antibiotic exposure, and piperacillintazobactam (PTZ) has been the most frequently studied antibiotic in this context [1–5] (Table 1). We, like others, previously suggested that higher than licensed dosing regimens should be necessary for empirical treatment in patients with ARC [4, 5]. We thus aimed to determine the efficacy and tolerability of such a strategy. For this purpose, we performed a retrospective analysis of our local database over a 10-month period (February to November 2018). Ethical approval confirmed the observational design of the study (IRB number: CERAR 00010254-2018-074). Over the study period, every patient with a 24-h measured creatinine clearance (CLCr) ≥ 150 mL/min received increased dosing regimens of PTZ (20/2.5 g

Increased dosing regimens of piperacillin-tazobactam are needed to avoid subtherapeutic exposure in critically ill patients with augmented renal clearance
