BACKGROUND: Vancomycin is commonly dosed using standard weight-based methods before dose adjustments are made through therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). However, variability in initial dosing can lead to suboptimal therapeutic outcomes. A predictive ...

PURPOSE: To develop and validate a novel artificial intelligence model for predicting the initial empiric dose of vancomycin, with the aim of achieving an area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of 400-600 mg∙h/L, using individual clinical data...
Patients with positive blood cultures in the intensive care unit (ICU) are at high risk for septic acute kidney injury requiring continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT), especially when treated with vancomycin. This study developed a machine lea...

AIMS: Although there are various model-based approaches to individualized vancomycin (VCM) administration, few have been reported for adult patients with periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). This work attempted to develop a machine learning (ML)-bas...
BACKGROUND: Vancomycin is a renally eliminated, nephrotoxic, glycopeptide antibiotic with a narrow therapeutic window, widely used in intensive care units (ICU). We aimed to predict the risk of inappropriate vancomycin trough levels and appropriate d...
BACKGROUND: Antibiotic resistance has become a global concern. Vancomycin is known as the last line of antibiotics, but its treatment index is narrow. Therefore, clinical dosing decisions must be made with the utmost care; such decisions are said to ...
Vancomycin is a commonly used antimicrobial in hospitals, and therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is required to optimize its efficacy and avoid toxicities. Bayesian models are currently recommended to predict the antibiotic levels. These models, howev...
