Guidelines for therapeutic drug monitoring of vancomycin: a systematic review.

<h4>Background and objective</h4>Despite the availability of clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) for therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of vancomycin, vancomycin serum concentrations still do not reach therapeutic concentrations in many patients. Thus, we sought to systematically review t...
