| Abstract | The updated vancomycin guideline and recent studies suggested that trough concentrations may result in underestimation of the actual area under the curve (AUC), leading to excessive dosing and nephrotoxicity. With limited data available on critically ill cancer patients, this study aimed to compare the two methods in this patient population. This was a 5-year retrospective study on patients treated with vancomycin in the intensive care unit (ICU) of a comprehensive cancer center. The measured trough concentration was compared to Bayesian-derived AUC/minimum-inhibitory-concentration (MIC), considering MIC as 1. Trough concentrations of 15-20 mg/L and AUC of 400-600 mg h/L were considered the targeted goal. Multivariate analysis was performed to identify factors associated with an AUC below the targeted goal. During the study period, 316 patients were included. The mean age was 54 years ±16 (SD); most patients had solid tumors (75%), and 11% had neutropenia. A targeted goal AUC and trough were recorded in 128 (41%) patients and in 64 (20%) patients, respectively. Of the 128 patients with targeted goal AUC, 31 (24%) had targeted goal trough concentrations and 91 (71%) had trough concentrations below 15 mg/L. Furthermore, among the patients with targeted goal trough concentration (n = 64), 33 (52%) had higher than targeted goal AUC. Augmented renal clearance (ARC), defined as a calculated creatinine-clearance ≥130 ml/min, was associated with an AUC below the targeted goal. In a cohort of critically ill patients with cancer, over two-thirds of the patients with a targeted goal Bayesian AUC/MIC had trough concentrations below the targeted goal. ARC was associated with AUC below the targeted goal. |
