Active surveillance of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae in intensive care units: Is it cost-effective in a nonendemic region?
Active CRE surveillance in ICUs appears to be highly cost-effective to reduce CRE infection rate, mortality rate, and QALY loss in a low CRE burden region.
A method to estimate GFR in children that is based on age and sex, but not critical illness, does not correspond with measured 24-hour CLCR. Use of this method to adjust dosage of drugs eliminated by the kidney might result in significant overdosage in most critically ill children.
