Empiric Antimicrobial Therapy and Population-Specific Dosing Explorer

Start with a suspected infection, search the complete scenario library, or open a standalone antimicrobial dosing record. Every regimen and dose is labeled for an adult, pediatric, neonatal, or mixed population. Adult doses are never substituted for children or neonates.

Clinical-use boundary: Empiric therapy is a time-limited hypothesis, not a final diagnosis. Stabilize critical illness, obtain appropriate cultures when feasible, complete source control, use the current local antibiogram and formulary, and perform an antibiotic timeout within 24 to 72 hours. The stored doses are orientation references. Patient-specific prescribing still requires confirmation of the indication, age, weight, postmenstrual and postnatal age when applicable, kidney and hepatic function, allergy phenotype, pregnancy, interactions, infusion strategy, therapeutic drug monitoring, and institutional policy.

Choose the workflow that matches your question

The two treatment sections serve different purposes. They use the same underlying evidence records, but they do not perform the same task.

Workflow A

Guided Scenario Finder

Use this when the suspected infection or syndrome is already known.

  • Select one disease or syndrome.
  • Add population, setting, severity, kidney context, resistance risk, host factors, and safety modifiers.
  • Review ranked stored clinical branches and their warnings.
  • Open the matching branch for diagnostics, likely pathogens, complete empiric regimen components, dosing, source control, duration, monitoring, and de-escalation.
Open Workflow A
Workflow B

Search and Browse Empiric Therapy

Use this when the disease name is uncertain, when several related branches must be compared, or when searching by pathogen, body site, drug, setting, population, or resistance concern.

  • Search all 507 stored scenarios at once.
  • Filter by category, setting, severity, population, dosing completeness, treatment status, and evidence year.
  • Save favorites, compare up to three branches, and export filtered results.
  • Open any branch for the same complete clinical detail available in the guided finder.
Open Workflow B
Separate supporting tool: The standalone Dosing and Renal Reference does not choose an infection pathway. It starts with a drug and then displays only the selected adult, pediatric, or neonatal dose table plus the selected kidney-function context.

Workflow A

Guided Scenario Finder

Select a known disease, then refine the clinical frame. The finder ranks complete stored branches. It does not diagnose the patient or declare a universally best regimen.

Decision support, not prescribing

1. Define the clinical frame

Choose the best matching syndrome before adding modifiers.

Population will be inferred after a disease is selected.

Adult renal tables are suppressed for pediatric and neonatal patients.

Resistance, host, and safety modifiers

2. Review ranked stored scenarios

How ranking works: Exact disease match dominates, followed by population, setting, severity, resistance tags, local preference, and visible safety warnings. A high score does not establish safety or appropriateness for a specific patient.

Workflow B

Search and Browse Empiric Therapy

Search the entire scenario library by infection, body site, organism, antimicrobial, setting, severity, population, or resistance concern. This section does not rank one disease-specific set unless you filter it to a single disease.

Supporting tool

Standalone Antimicrobial Dosing and Renal Reference

Use this section when the drug is already known. It does not select empiric therapy. Select the patient population first, then choose the kidney-function context. Missing pediatric or neonatal data never trigger an adult fallback.

81 linked dosing records
Population definitions: Pediatric generally refers to patients beyond the neonatal period, but individual records may use a different age scope. Neonatal records may depend on both postmenstrual age and postnatal age. Read the age scope shown with every drug.

Institutional layer

Local Formulary and Stewardship Policy

Import a browser-local JSON policy to mark preferred or hidden scenarios, add stewardship notes, and display formulary status. The imported file does not rewrite the distributed clinical data.

Import local policy

No local policy loaded.

Supported controls and safeguards

  • Preferred, hidden, or retired scenario IDs
  • Scenario-specific stewardship notes
  • Formulary status by antimicrobial ID
  • Institution name, policy version, effective date, expiration date, and reviewer
  • Local antibiogram comments for clinician review
Safeguard: The policy import does not calculate susceptibility, create dosing, or override a population warning.

Evidence library

Guidelines, Standards, Labels, Texts, and Journal Sources

Search the dated source library. Treatment-guidance freshness is tracked separately from AST, diagnostic, laboratory, or product-label publication years.
