Intensive care (IC) patients regularly get infections. Sometimes it is even the reason of admission to the intensive care unit. To treat these infections, we give medicines called antibiotics, such as β-lactams antibiotics. Every IC patient receives the same dose of β-lactams antibiotics, while we know this can lead to undertreatment in some IC patients. The BATMAN risk score was created to predict which IC patient is undertreated. This study aims to validate the BATMAN risk score so it can be used in clinical practice.
