ABSTRACT
Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of beta-lactam antibiotics is recommended to address the variability in exposure observed in critical illness. However, the impact of TDM-guided dosing on clinical outcomes remains unknown. We conducted systematic review and meta-analysis on TDM-guided dosing and clinical outcomes (all-cause mortality, clinical cure, microbiological cure, treatment failure, hospital and ICU length of stay, target attainment, antibiotic-related adverse events, and emergence of resistance) in critically ill patients with suspected or proven sepsis. Eleven studies (n = 1463 participants) were included. TDM-guided dosing was associated with improved clinical cure (Relative Risk 1.17; 95% Confidence Interval [1.04, 1.31]), microbiological cure (1.14; [1.03, 1.27]), treatment failure (0.79; [0.66, 0.94]), and target attainment (1.85; [1.08, 3.16]). No associations with mortality and length of stay were found. TDM-guided dosing impr oved clinical and microbiological cure, and treatment response. Larger, prospective randomized trials are required to better assess the utility of beta-lactam TDM in critically ill patients.
