Wong S, Selby PR, Reuter SE. Determination of a vancomycin nephrotoxicity threshold and assessment of target attainment in hematology patients. Pharmacol Res Perspect 2024; 12:e1231. [PMID: 38940223 PMCID: PMC11211924 DOI: 10.1002/prp2.1231] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2024] [Revised: 05/29/2024] [Accepted: 06/11/2024] [Indexed: 06/29/2024] Open
Abstract
An area-under-the-curve (AUC24)-based approach is recommended to guide vancomycin therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM), yet trough concentrations are still commonly used despite associated risks. A definitive toxicity target is lacking, which is important for hematology patients who have a higher risk of nephrotoxicity. The aims were to (1) assess the impact of trough-based TDM on acute kidney injury (AKI) incidence, (2) establish a vancomycin nephrotoxicity threshold, and (3) evaluate the proportion of hematology patients achieving vancomycin therapeutic targets. Retrospective data was collected from 100 adult patients with a hematological malignancy or aplastic anemia who received vancomycin between April 2020 and January 2021. AKI occurrence was determined based on serum creatinine concentrations, and individual pharmacokinetic parameters were estimated using a Bayesian approach. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to assess the ability of pharmacokinetic indices to predict AKI occurrence. The proportion of patients who achieved target vancomycin exposure was evaluated based on an AUC24/MIC ≥400 and the determined toxicity threshold. The incidence of AKI was 37%. ROC curve analysis indicated a maximum AUC24 of 644 mg.h/L over the treatment period was an important predictor of AKI. By Day 4 of treatment, 29% of treatment courses had supratherapeutic vancomycin exposure, with only 62% of courses achieving AUC24 targets. The identified toxicity threshold supports an AUC24 target range of 400-650 mg.h/L, assuming an MIC of 1 mg/L, to optimize vancomycin efficacy and minimize toxicity. This study highlights high rates of AKI in this population and emphasizes the importance of transitioning from trough-based TDM to an AUC-based approach to improve clinical outcomes.

Yang W, Zhang K, Chen Y, Fan Y, Zhang J. Is It Still Beneficial to Monitor the Trough Concentration of Vancomycin? A Quantitative Meta-Analysis of Nephrotoxicity and Efficacy. Antibiotics (Basel) 2024; 13:497. [PMID: 38927164 PMCID: PMC11200798 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics13060497] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2024] [Revised: 05/15/2024] [Accepted: 05/20/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
This study conducted a quantitative meta-analysis to investigate the association of vancomycin indicators, particularly area under the curve over 24 h (AUC24) and trough concentrations (Ctrough), and their relationship with both nephrotoxicity and efficacy. Literature research was performed in PubMed and Web of Science on vancomycin nephrotoxicity and efficacy in adult inpatients. Vancomycin Ctrough, AUC24, AUC24/minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), nephrotoxicity evaluation and treatment outcomes were extracted. Logistic regression and Emax models were conducted, stratified by evaluation criterion for nephrotoxicity and primary outcomes for efficacy. Among 100 publications on nephrotoxicity, 29 focused on AUC24 and 97 on Ctrough, while of 74 publications on efficacy, 27 reported AUC24/MIC and 68 reported Ctrough. The logistic regression analysis indicated a significant association between nephrotoxicity and vancomycin Ctrough (odds ratio = 2.193; 95% CI 1.582-3.442, p < 0.001). The receiver operating characteristic curve had an area of 0.90, with a cut-off point of 14.55 mg/L. Additionally, 92.3% of the groups with a mean AUC24 within 400-600 mg·h/L showed a mean Ctrough of 10-20 mg/L. However, a subtle, non-statistically significant association was observed between the AUC24 and nephrotoxicity, as well as between AUC24/MIC and Ctrough concerning treatment outcomes. Our findings suggest that monitoring vancomycin Ctrough remains a beneficial and valuable approach to proactively identifying patients at risk of nephrotoxicity, particularly when Ctrough exceeds 15 mg/L. Ctrough can serve as a surrogate for AUC24 to some extent. However, no definitive cut-off values were identified for AUC24 concerning nephrotoxicity or for Ctrough and AUC24/MIC regarding efficacy.

Dissecting bloodstream infections in febrile neutropenic patients with hematological malignancies, a decade-long single center retrospective observational study (2009-2019). J Infect Public Health 2024; 17:152-162. [PMID: 38029491 DOI: 10.1016/j.jiph.2023.11.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2023] [Revised: 11/07/2023] [Accepted: 11/13/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of ill-suited antibiotics is a significant risk factor behind the increase in the mortality, morbidity, and economic burden for patients who are under treatment for hematological malignancy (HM) and bloodstream infections (BSI). Such unfitting treatment choices intensify the evolution of resistant variants which is a public health concern due to possible healthcare-associated infection spread to the general population. Hence, this study aims to evaluate antibiograms of patients with BSI and risk factors associated with septicemia. METHODS A total of 1166 febrile neutropenia episodes (FNE) among 513 patients with HM from the National Center for Cancer Care and Research (NCCCR), Qatar, during 2009-2019 were used for this study. The socio-demographic, clinical, microbial, and anti-microbial data retrieved from the patient's health records were used. RESULTS We analyzed the sensitivity of gram-negative and gram-positive bacilli reported in HM-FN-BSI patients. Out of the total 512 microorganisms isolated, 416 (81%) were gram-negative bacteria (GNB), 76 (15%) were gram-positive bacteria (GPB) and 20 (4%) were fungi. Furthermore, in 416 GNB, 298 (71.6%) were Enterobacteriaceae sp. among which 121 (41%) were ESBL (Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase) resistant to Cephalosporine third generation and Piperacillin-Tazobactam, 54 (18%) were Carbapenem-resistant or multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO). It's noteworthy that the predominant infectious agents in our hospital include E. coli, Klebsiella species, and P. aeruginosa. Throughout the study period, the mortality rate due to BSI was 23%. Risk factors that show a significant correlation with death are age, disease status, mono or polymicrobial BSI and septic shock. CONCLUSION Decision pertaining to the usage of antimicrobials for HM-FN-BSI patients is a critical task that relies on the latest pattern of prevalence, treatment resistance, and clinical outcomes. Analysis of the antibiogram of HM-FN-BSI patients in Qatar calls for a reconsideration of currently followed empirical antibiotic therapy towards better infection control and antimicrobial stewardship.

Area-Under-Curve-Guided Versus Trough-Guided Monitoring of Vancomycin and Its Impact on Nephrotoxicity: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Ther Drug Monit 2023:00007691-990000000-00088. [PMID: 36728329 DOI: 10.1097/ftd.0000000000001075] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2022] [Accepted: 11/07/2022] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Conventionally, vancomycin trough levels have been used for therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). Owing to the increasing evidence of trough levels being poor surrogates of area under the curve (AUC) and the advent of advanced pharmacokinetics software, a paradigm shift has been made toward AUC-guided dosing. This study aims to evaluate the impact of AUC-guided versus trough-guided TDM on vancomycin-associated nephrotoxicity. METHODS A systematic review was conducted using PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Google scholar, and Cochrane library databases; articles published from January 01, 2009, to January 01, 2021, were retrieved and reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses checklist. Studies that evaluated trough-guided or AUC-guided vancomycin TDM and vancomycin-associated nephrotoxicity were included. Random-effects models were used to compare the differences in nephrotoxicity. RESULTS Of the 1191 retrieved studies, 57 were included. Most studies included adults and older adults (n = 47, 82.45%). The pooled prevalence of nephrotoxicity was lower in AUC-guided TDM [6.2%; 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.9%-9.5%] than in trough-guided TDM (17.0%; 95% CI: 14.7%-19.2%). Compared with the trough-guided approach, the AUC-guided approach had a lower risk of nephrotoxicity (odds ratio: 0.53; 95% CI: 0.32-0.89). The risk of nephrotoxicity was unaffected by the AUC derivation method. AUC thresholds correlated with nephrotoxicity only within the first 96 hours of therapy. CONCLUSIONS The AUC-guided approach had a lower risk of nephrotoxicity, supporting the updated American Society of Health-System Pharmacists guidelines. Further studies are needed to evaluate the optimal AUC-derivation methods and clinical utility of repeated measurements of the AUC and trough levels of vancomycin.

Abstract
Vancomycin (VCM) is frequently used for neutropenic patients undergoing cord blood transplantation (CBT). We retrospectively examined the relationship between VCM trough levels and the efficacy and toxicity in 122 adult patients undergoing CBT in our institute. The median initial dose of VCM based on body weight was 9.1 mg/kg/dose (range, 6.0-22.6 mg/kg/dose). The median initial trough level of VCM for all patients was 4.50 µg/mL (range, 1.20-24.05 µg/mL), at a median of 3 days (range, 2-6 days) after VCM administration. The cumulative incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) was 19% at 30 days after VCM administration. A higher median trough level of VCM during the first 7 days was significantly associated with the development of AKI in the multivariate analysis (Hazard ratio: 1.28, p = .026). These data suggest that a lower VCM trough level may be safe in adult patients undergoing CBT under therapy with nephrotoxic drugs.

Abstract
Purpose Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) constitutes 5–10% of all cases of newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia. However, data on the epidemiology and risk factors for acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with newly diagnosed APL are lacking. This study determined the incidence rate of AKI during induction chemotherapy for patients with newly diagnosed APL and the risk factors for AKI. Patients and Methods We conducted a retrospective observational study of patients with newly diagnosed APL in the Shonan Kamakura General Hospital between April 2004 and April 2020. Data of 27 patients with newly diagnosed APL were analyzed. The patients were classified as no AKI and AKI stages 1, 2 or 3. Results The incidence rate of AKI during induction chemotherapy was 40% (11/27). Among patients who developed AKI, four patients experienced AKI stage 3, and two patients required renal replacement therapy. No significant differences were found in the white blood cell count and baseline renal function between the groups; however, D-dimer and C-reactive protein levels upon admission were significantly higher in patients with AKI than in patients without AKI. Among patients who developed AKI, in hospital mortality at 90 days was 36% (4/11), which was significantly higher than among patients without AKI (p = 0.02). Patients who developed AKI were administered vancomycin more frequently, while almost all blood culture results were negative. Conclusion Incidence of AKI development in patients with newly diagnosed APL during induction chemotherapy was approximately 40%. Moreover, patients who developed AKI tended to be administered vancomycin more frequently. Unnecessary use of vancomycin should be avoided in patients with newly diagnosed APL, and using alternative non-nephrotoxic drugs should be considered for patients at risk of AKI.

Abstract
WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVE Thrombocytopenia is one of the typical adverse events caused by linezolid (LZD). Recently, some cases of severe hyponatraemia occurring while receiving LZD have been reported. This study investigated a possible relationship between LZD-induced hyponatraemia and thrombocytopenia and identified the risk factors for hyponatraemia and/or thrombocytopenia. METHODS In this retrospective, single-centre, observational cohort study, 63 hospitalized patients aged over 18 years who received intravenous injection of LZD for more than seven consecutive days in Oita University Hospital between April 2015 and March 2018 were analysed. RESULTS Thrombocytopenia occurred in 25 (39.7%) patients and hyponatraemia in 11 (17.5%) patients. Seven of 11 patients with hyponatraemia had concurrent thrombocytopenia. Although both serum sodium level and platelet count declined in most patients who developed hyponatraemia, no significant association between thrombocytopenia and hyponatraemia was found. Creatinine clearance level (Ccr) was significantly lower not only in the thrombocytopenia (vs no-thrombocytopenia) but also in the hyponatraemia group (vs no-hyponatraemia group). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses identified different risk factors for thrombocytopenia and/or hyponatraemia (thrombocytopenia: Ccr and administration period; hyponatraemia: serum albumin; thrombocytopenia and hyponatraemia: administration period and serum albumin). WHAT IS NEW AND CONCLUSION In conclusion, this study found no significant relationship between LZD-induced thrombocytopenia and hyponatraemia and identified some possible risk factors associated with onset of the two adverse events. These require further validation.

Abstract
Objective To provide a comprehensive review of vancomycin dosing in patients with hematologic malignancies or neutropenia. Methods PubMed, Embase and the Cochrane Library were searched through April 2, 2020. Original studies relevant to vancomycin dosing regimen in adults with hematologic malignancies or neutropenia were included. No restriction was applied in study design and language. A descriptive analysis was performed. Results Twenty-three studies were included eventually, of which eighteen were case series studies, four were cohort studies and another one was a randomized controlled trial. Five case series studies made a clinical audit of conventional vancomycin dosing in patients with malignancies or neutropenia, showing that the proportion of patients with sub-therapeutic trough levels remained high, ranging from 32% to 88%. Seven case series studies and four cohort studies demonstrated that vancomycin clearance (CLva) tended to be higher in patients with hematologic malignancies or neutropenia, whereas volume of distribution (V) seemed to be comparable to the control group. Five studies proposed individualized initial dosing regimen per the pharmacokinetic changes; however, no prospective validation has been conducted in clinical setting. Additionally, four case series studies suggested that the correlation between vancomycin clearance and estimated creatinine clearance was relatively poor, bringing a great challenge to proper dosing strategy. A randomized controlled trial stated that therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of vancomycin could decrease the incidence of nephrotoxicity in immunocompromised febrile patients with hematologic malignancies. Conclusion The available evidence indicates that conventional vancomycin dosing leads to suboptimal concentration in patients with hematologic malignancy or neutropenia. TDM accompanied by pharmacokinetic interpretation can decrease the risk of nephrotoxicity. The individualization of the initial dosing regimen and mechanisms of augmented clearance require further research.

[DOI: 10.1093/jac/dkaa184] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2020] [Revised: 04/05/2020] [Accepted: 04/13/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
AbstractObjectivesNephrotoxicity represents a major complication of vancomycin administration, leading to high rates of morbidity and treatment failure. The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the association between trough levels and risk of renal impairment, by defining an exposure–toxicity relationship and assessing its accuracy in predicting the development of acute kidney injury (AKI).MethodsMedline, Scopus, CENTRAL, Clinicaltrials.gov and Google Scholar databases were systematically searched from inception. Studies examining the effects of trough levels on nephrotoxicity risk in adult patients were deemed eligible.ResultsThe meta-analysis was based on 60 studies, including 13 304 patients. The development of AKI was significantly linked to both higher initial [standardized mean difference (SMD): 0.82; 95% CI: 0.65–0.98] and maximum (SMD: 1.06; 95% CI: 0.82–1.29) trough levels. Dose–response analysis indicated a curvilinear relationship between trough levels and nephrotoxicity risk (χ2 = 127.1; P value < 0.0001). A cut-off of 15 mg/L detected AKI with a sensitivity of 62.6% (95% CI: 55.6–69.2) and a specificity of 65.5% (95% CI: 58.9–71.6), while applying a 20 mg/L threshold resulted in a sensitivity of 42.9% (95% CI: 34–52.2) and a specificity of 82.5% (95% CI: 73.9–88.8).ConclusionsThe present findings suggest that the development of vancomycin-induced AKI is significantly associated with higher initial and maximum trough levels. An exposure–response relationship was defined, indicating that increasing trough levels correlate with a significant rise of nephrotoxicity risk. Future studies should verify the effectiveness of individualized pharmacokinetic tools that would enable the attainment of trough level targets and minimize the risk of renal toxicity.

Vancomycin area under the curve to minimum inhibitory concentration ratio predicting clinical outcome: a systematic review and meta-analysis with pooled sensitivity and specificity. Clin Microbiol Infect 2019; 26:436-446. [PMID: 31756451 DOI: 10.1016/j.cmi.2019.10.029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2019] [Revised: 10/27/2019] [Accepted: 10/29/2019] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Vancomycin is a first-line antibiotic for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections or other Gram-positive infections. The area under the curve (AUC) to minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) ratio is proposed as a therapeutic drug-monitoring parameter. How well clinical efficacy is predicted by this measure has not been established. OBJECTIVE Determine the test performance characteristics (TPC) of AUC:MIC of vancomycin for prediction of positive outcome. DATA SOURCES PubMed and Ovid Medline (1946 to 2018) and EMBASE (1974 to 2018). Study Eligibility Criteria and Participants: Studies of patients treated with vancomycin for any type of infection in peer reviewed publications. All patient populations were included. INTERVENTIONS Vancomycin AUC:MIC or AUC was related to patient clinical outcome. METHODS Searches of medical databases using relevant terms were performed. Screening, study reviewing, data extracting and assessing data quality was performed independently by two reviewers. Studies were stratified by type of primary outcome for calculation of pooled sensitivity, specificity and construction of hierarchical summary receiver operating characteristic (HSROC) curves. RESULTS Nineteen studies including 1699 patients were meta-analysed. Pooled sensitivity and specificity were 0.77 (95% CI 0.67-0.84) and 0.62 (95% CI 0.53-0.71) respectively for the seven studies with primary outcome of mortality and 0.65 (95% CI 0.53-0.75), 0.58 (95% CI 0.48-0.67) for studies with composite or clinical cure outcome (n = 12). HSROC curves suggested considerable heterogeneity. An additional 11 studies were described but could not be included for meta-analysis because data were not available. The majority of these studies (9/11) failed to demonstrate a relationship between AUC:MIC and positive clinical outcome. CONCLUSIONS Vancomycin AUC:MIC performance was modest and inconsistent. Analysis was limited by studies without sufficient data; therefore, meta-analytic results may overestimate TPC values. Given this, as well as the lack of standardization of methods, widespread adoption of AUC:MIC as the preferred vancomycin monitoring parameter may be premature.

Effect of serum concentration and concomitant drugs on vancomycin-induced acute kidney injury in haematologic patients: a single-centre retrospective study. Eur J Clin Pharmacol 2019; 75:1695-1704. [PMID: 31511938 DOI: 10.1007/s00228-019-02756-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2019] [Accepted: 09/01/2019] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Appropriate use of vancomycin (VCM) is important in preventing acute kidney injury (AKI). Because of the high frequency of VCM use for febrile neutropenia and concomitant use of other nephrotoxic drugs, haematologic patients have a different nephrotoxic background compared with patients with other diseases. Therefore, it is unclear whether the risk factors of VCM-induced AKI identified in other patient groups are also applicable to haematologic patients. Herein, we performed a single-centre retrospective analysis to identify the factors associated with VCM-induced AKI in haematologic patients. METHODS We retrospectively analysed 150 haematologic patients to whom VCM was administered between April 2010 and March 2018 at Tokushima University Hospital. VCM-induced AKI was defined according to Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify risk factors for VCM-induced AKI. RESULTS Seventeen patients had VCM-induced AKI. Multivariate analysis revealed that the risk factors of VCM-induced AKI were an initial VCM trough concentration of > 15 mg/L and concomitant use of tazobactam/piperacillin (TAZ/PIPC) and liposomal amphotericin B (L-AMB). Patients with an initial VCM trough concentration of < 10 mg/L showed significantly lower efficacy in febrile neutropenia. Interestingly, concomitant L-AMB use increased the incidence of VCM-induced AKI in a VCM concentration-dependent manner, whereas concomitant TAZ/PIPC increased the incidence in a VCM concentration-independent manner. CONCLUSIONS The optimal initial VCM trough concentration was 10-15 mg/L in haematologic patients, considering safety and effectiveness. There were differences in the effect of VCM-induced AKI between nephrotoxic drugs.

Abstract
Vancomycin is a fundamental antibiotic in the management of severe Gram-positive infections. Inappropriate vancomycin dosing is associated with therapeutic failure, bacterial resistance and toxicity. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is acknowledged as an important part of the vancomycin therapy management, at least in specific patient subpopulations, but implementation in clinical practice has been difficult because there are no consensus and agglutinator documents. The aims of the present work are to present an overview of the current knowledge on vancomycin TDM and population pharmacokinetic (PPK) models relevant to specific patient subpopulations. Based on three published international guidelines (American, Japanese and Chinese) on vancomycin TDM and a bibliographic review on available PPK models for vancomycin in distinct subpopulations, an analysis of evidence was carried out and the current knowledge on this topic was summarized. The results of this work can be useful to redirect research efforts to address the detected knowledge gaps. Currently, TDM of vancomycin presents a moderate level of evidence and practical recommendations with great robustness in neonates, pediatric and patients with renal impairment. However, it is important to investigate in other subpopulations known to present altered vancomycin pharmacokinetics (eg neurosurgical, oncological and cystic fibrosis patients), where evidence is still unsufficient.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Teicoplanin is a glycopeptide antibiotic currently used for the treatment of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. The need for therapeutic drug monitoring of teicoplanin has been increasingly highlighted as important. It is generally accepted that whereas a plasma trough concentration (Cmin) of ≥10 mg/L is appropriate for the majority of infections, it should exceed 20 mg/L for severe infections. The target Cmin of teicoplanin in patients with febrile neutropenia (FN) has not been reported. The aim of this study was to estimate the target Cmin for the treatment of FN in patients with hematological malignancy. METHODS In this retrospective, single-center, observational cohort study, the records of 52 hospitalized patients with hematological malignancy who were treated with teicoplanin for FN due to bacteriologically documented or presumptive gram-positive infections were analyzed. RESULTS A significant difference in the first Cmin of teicoplanin was observed between the response and nonresponse groups in patients with bacteremia. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves were 0.80 for clinical efficacy. The cut-off value of teicoplanin Cmin on days 4-6 was 15.2 mg/L (sensitivity 80.0%, specificity 75.0%). CONCLUSIONS The authors propose a target teicoplanin Cmin of ≥15.2 mg/L for FN in patients with hematological malignancy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to identify the impact of the presence of neutropenia on serum vancomycin concentration (SVC). METHODS A retrospective study was conducted from January 2005 to December 2015. The study population was comprised of adult patients who were performed serum concentration of vancomycin. Patients with renal failure or using non-conventional dosages of vancomycin were excluded. RESULTS A total of 1307 adult patients were included in this study, of whom 163 (12.4%) were neutropenic. Patients with neutropenia presented significantly lower SVCs than non-neutropenic patients (P<0.0001). Multiple linear regressions showed significant association between neutropenia and trough SVC (beta coefficients, -2.351; P=0.004). Multiple logistic regression analysis also revealed a significant association between sub-therapeutic vancomycin concentrations (trough SVC values<10mg/l) and neutropenia (odds ratio, 1.75, P=0.029) CONCLUSIONS: The presence of neutropenia is significantly associated with low SVC, even after adjusting for other variables. Therefore, neutropenic patients had a higher risk of sub-therapeutic SVC compared with non-neutropenic patients. We recommended that vancomycin therapy should be monitored with TDM-guided optimization of dosage and intervals, especially in neutropenic patients.
