INTRODUCTION: Teicoplanin is widely used to treat pulmonary infections, particularly in critically ill patients with gram-positive bacterial infections. However, its plasma concentration varies substantially between individuals owing to heterogeneity in renal function, comorbidities, and concomitant medications, leading to subtherapeutic or toxic exposures. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) remain...
OBJECTIVES: The overwhelmed situation under the COVID-19 pandemic has worsened the quality of emergency medical care and the mortality rate due to out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). However, there has been no research conducted for the validation of prognostic prediction models for OHCA patients using data collected during the pandemic. We sought to develop a pre-hospital prediction model for ...
