Clinical outcomes with lower versus conventional dose polymyxin B regimens in dialysis dependent and non-dialysis patients with gram-negative sepsis: A real-world propensity-score matched cohort study
Low dose polymyxin B regimens were associated with lower mortality and comparable clinical outcomes compared to higher doses and may be feasible in critically ill patients with renal impairment. However, these findings should be interpreted cautiously given the observational design and residual confounding, warranting confirmation in future randomized trials.
