Performance of Bayesian Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve-Based Pharmacokinetic Dosing Based on a One-Compartment Model and Trough-Only Monitoring for Vancomycin.

A novel Bayesian method was developed to interpret serum vancomycin concentrations (SVCs) following the administration of one or more vancomycin doses with potential varying doses and intervals based on superposition principles. The method was evaluated using retrospective data from 442 subjects from three hospitals. The patients were required to receive vancomycin for more than 3 days, have stable renal function (fluctuation in serum creatinine of ≤0.
