Determining steady-state trough range in vancomycin drug dosing using machine learning.
Journal of Critical Care 2024 March 19
BACKGROUND: Vancomycin is a renally eliminated, nephrotoxic, glycopeptide antibiotic with a narrow therapeutic window, widely used in intensive care units (ICU). We aimed to predict the risk of inappropriate vancomycin trough levels and appropriate dosing for each ICU patient.
METHODS: Observed vancomycin trough levels were categorized into sub-therapeutic, therapeutic, and supra-therapeutic levels to train and compare different classification models. We included adult ICU patients (≥ 18 years) with at least one vancomycin concentration measurement during hospitalization at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, from January 2007 to December 2017.
RESULT: The final cohort consisted of 5337 vancomycin courses. The XGBoost models outperformed other machine learning models with the AUC-ROC of 0.85 and 0.83, specificity of 53% and 47%, and sensitivity of 94% and 94% for sub- and supra-therapeutic categories, respectively. Kinetic estimated glomerular filtration rate and other creatinine-based measurements, vancomycin regimen (dose and interval), comorbidities, body mass index, age, sex, and blood pressure were among the most important variables in the models.
CONCLUSION: We developed models to assess the risk of sub- and supra-therapeutic vancomycin trough levels to improve the accuracy of drug dosing in critically ill patients.
