Empirical therapy advisor
Before culture results are back: how likely is each antibiotic to cover the pathogen of a patient like this one, in this ward, given the last 12 months of results and today's alerts.
Based on 120 first isolates · ICU · Skin / wound infection · 2025-01-26 → 2026-01-25
Intensive care unitNo single agent reaches 80 % coverage for this profile. Highest coverage without active warning:
vancomycin 58 % (49 %–67 %)
Best two-drug combination: vancomycin + meropenem covers 98 % (94 %–100 %)
Take cultures before treatment; consider a combination and discuss with infectious
diseases if the patient is severely ill.
Not covered: Escherichia coli (13 %), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (13 %), Citrobacter freundii (8 %)

Decision support only: coverage is the share of first isolates from similar patients that were susceptible (an organism not tested for a drug counts as not covered). It does not replace local treatment guidelines, allergy and severity assessment, or clinical judgement. The black tick on each bar is the coverage target; the bracket is the 95 % confidence interval.
