Efficacy and safety of ertapenem dosing in patients with ESBL producing infections utilizing renal replacement therapies.

Purpose: The clinical efficacy and safety of ertapenem use in patients undergoing renal replacement therapies (RRT) are not well-documented. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the safety and efficacy of ertapenem in patients with sepsis secondary to Enterobacterales who are undergoing RRT.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on patients who met the inclusion criteria at our hospital between May 2015 and December 2021.
