Abstract

This research developed an intravenous (IV) vancomycin dosing nomogram based on the clinical pharmacokinetic data of Korean adult patients. Total 99 pairs of steady-state peak and trough serum concentrations of vancomycin were obtained from 73 adult patients in a tertiary general hospital. Serum vancomycin concentrations were determined to assess the appropriateness of initial vancomycin dosing. Only 47.2% of the cases were within therapeutic range. To characterize the clinical pharmacokinetics (PK) of vancomycin, PK parameters including elimination rate constant ( $K_{e}$) half-life( $T_{1}$2/), clearance (C $l_{van}$), volume of distribution ( $V_{d}$) were calculated by using one-compartment, first order pharmacokinetic equations. PK parameters were evaluated based on the differences of patients'renal function and age. Regression analysis showed a significant correlation between C $l_{van}$ and $C_{cr}$ (C $l_{van}$ = -1.89+0.914 $C_{cr}$ , r=0.763) and between $K_{e}$ and $C_{cr}$ , ( $K_{e}$=-0.0037+0.00139 $C_{cr}$ =0.724). The relationship between $K_{e}$ and $C_{cr}$ , and the mean $V_{d}$ were utilized for developing the nomogram to individualize the initial dosing regimen of vancomycin for the patients with various degrees of renal functions. The nomogram may be used as an efficient tool to determine safe and effective doses of vancomycin for the Korean adult patients.nts.nts.nts.s.nts.
