AUCss,0–24 area under the concentration–time curve at steady state, Cmax,ss maximum plasma concentration at steady state, cIAI complicated intra-abdominal infection, CLCR creatinine clearance, cUTI complicated urinary tract infection, CV coefficient of variation, NP nosocomial pneumonia, NPv patients with a ventilator in the hospital room, which included patients with hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) or ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) who were ventilated on the day of PK sampling; PK pharmacokinetic, PTA probability of target attainment, q8h every 8 h

Data from Li et al. (2019) [32]. Simulations were conducted for 5000 patients with normal renal function (CLCR > 80 mL/min) in each indication, receiving ceftazidime–avibactam 2000/500 mg q8h as a 2-h intravenous infusion
