Prevalence and predictors of confirmed infection in patients receiving empiric antimicrobials in the intensive care unit: a retrospective cohort study
Suspected infection in the ICU is frequently not confirmed. Clinicians should be aware of the need to avoid premature closure and revise diagnosis after microbiological results. Development and implementation of new tools for faster infection diagnosis and guiding of antimicrobial prescription should be a research priority.
