Population pharmacokinetic study of ceftriaxone in elderly patients, using cystatin C-based estimates of renal function to account for frailty

Population pharmacokinetic study of ceftriaxone in elderly patients, using cystatin C-based estimates of renal function to account for frailty

Ceftriaxone is widely used for respiratory and urinary infections in elderly and frail patients, but there are few pharmacokinetic studies.
