Methods of estimating vancomycin use in an inpatient setting: days of therapy versus therapeutic drug monitoring–based exposure days
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 February 2019
Abstract
Underestimating antimicrobial use based on days of therapy (DOT) is recognized for certain antimicrobial agents. We investigated the difference between DOT and therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM)–based exposure days in estimating vancomycin use and demonstrated that DOT may underestimate vancomycin exposure by ∼10%.
