Abstract:
Objective To analyze the concentration and exposure of vancomycin in children with gram-positive coccal infection,and the corresponding clinical efficacy and safety to support rational use of vancomycin in children.Methods We prospectively collected the clinical and laboratory data of 87 children with gram-positive coccal infection in the Children's Hospital of Fudan University from January 2012 to March 2021.Therapeutic drug monitoring(TDM)was conducted for vancomycin simultaneously,to acquire the data of serum through concentration(Cmin),peak concentration(Cmax),the area under the drug concentration-time curve in a 24-h interval(AUC0-24h)and the ratio ofAUC0-24h to the minimum inhibitory concentration(AUC0-24h/MIC).Results The median(P25,P75)age of the children enrolled in this study was 3.60(1.20,20.00)months.The median dose of vancomycin was 39.23(30.00,46.51)mg/kg.The median serum Cmin was 3.30(1.50,7.10)mg/L.Cmin achieved the target(5-15 mg/L)in 23 cases(26.4％).The median AUC0-24h was 213(174,293)mg·h/L and the median AUC0-24h/MIC was 221(128,349).Adaily dose of above 60 mg/kg in children could achieve the median value of AUC0-24h and AUC0-24h/MIC greater than 400,and the corresponding median age was 28.50(6.85,36.00)months.Multivariate logistic analysis showed a good correlation between Cmin and AUC0-24h(P=0.002).At the end of treatment,the clinical efficacy rate was 85.1％(74/87)and the bacterial eradication rate was 95.4％(83/87).No renal injury occurred during the treatment.Conclusions In this study,the median daily dosage,Cmin and A UC0-24h/MIC of vancomycin were below the recommended range at home and abroad.However,good clinical and microbiological efficacy were achieved in children at low vancomycin exposure.The probability of target attainment(PTA)for A UC0-24h and AUC0-24h/MIC ≥400 increased when the daily dose of vancomycin was＞60 mg/kg(corresponding to the median age of 28.50 months)or Cmin ≥ 5 mg/L.
