Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Successful outcome

    Successful outcome is defined as: 1. Participant is alive. 2. No need for replacing the antibiotic or adding new antibiotics. 3. At the end of actual piperacillin/tazobactam therapy, ①there is a significant improvement in the participant's overall clinical status, ②there is microbiological resolution or presumed eradication of bacteria and ③no new piperacillin/tazobactam-susceptible pathogens potentially associated with sepsis have been identified. 4. Participant does not have a clinically or microbiologically significant relapse or new infection within 10 days after the end of actual piperacillin/tazobactam therapy.

    At the follow-up visit (10 ± 1 days after the end of actual piperacillin/tazobactam therapy )

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • Length of NICU stay

    From the date of randomization until date of discharge, assessed up to 2 months

  • All cause in-hospital mortality

    From the date of randomization until date of discharge, assessed up to 2 months

  • Proportion of patients switching to or adding another antibiotics.

    Through study completion, an average of 20 days.

  • Relapsed or new infection rate

    At the follow-up visit (10 ± 1 days after the end of actual piperacillin/tazobactam therapy )

  • PD target attainment

    Through study completion, an average of 20 days.

  • +1 more secondary outcomes
