Details
Attainment of anti-infective concentrations within therapeutic range is widely accepted as the outcome of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM). Several randomized control trials considering the achievement of therapeutic range as the outcome of TDM intervention could not demonstrate any advantage or could demonstrate only a marginal advantage of TDM strategies in improving clinical outcomes. Inclusion of time to reach target and days in target as parameters of therapeutic target in addition to attainment of target concentrations may considerably improve patient outcome. This symposium will explore strategies to achieve these three goals of TDM and will suggest how to integrate all these goals as an intervention while performing clinical trials.
