Abstract

According to a recent Center for Disease Control survey, 33% of the US population is obese. Because labeled dosing guidelines are based upon non-obese individuals, under dosing of antibiotics may be problematic in this population. We developed an automated dose checking tool to efficiently detect potentially inappropriate dosing of antibiotics in bariatric (morbidly obese patients).
