Blood samples were collected on two occasions, with three samples taken during a single dosing interval on each occasion. Total concentrations were centrally measured using validated chromatographic methods. Pharmacokinetic parameters were estimated using noncompartmental methods. Antifungal dosing adequacy was assessed using predefined PK/PD targets.</p><h3 data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Results</h3><p>We included 339 patients from 30 ICUs across 12 countries.

Fluconazole was the most frequently prescribed antifungal (40.7%). The most common indication for treatment was intra-abdominal infection (30.7%). Fungi were identified in 45% of patients, of which only 26% had a minimum inhibitory concentration available. Target attainment was higher for patients receiving prophylaxis (> 80% for most drugs).
