Current software for TDM is a valuable tool, but it may also include different population pharmacokinetic models in patients with severe infections, and should be evaluated before performing a model-based TDM in clinical practice. Considering the heterogeneous characteristics of patients with severe infections, this study demonstrates the need for therapy personalisation for PIP to improve pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic target attainment.
