Abstract

BACKGROUND: Teicoplanin has been widely used in patients with infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus, especially for critically ill patients. The pharmacokinetics (PK) of teicoplanin vary between individuals and within the same individual. We aim to establish a prediction model via a combination of machine learning and population PK (PPK) to support personalized medication decisions for critically ill patients.
