New dosing strategy aims to hit the sweet spot for Kids' antibiotic treatment

NCT ID NCT02694458

Summary

This study compared two methods for adjusting the antibiotic vancomycin in children with serious MRSA infections. Researchers tested whether using a computer model to guide early dose changes could help children reach the right drug level in their blood faster than the usual method. The goal was to improve infection control while reducing the risk of side effects from the medication.
