Gestational age < or = 32 weeks and concurrent use of dopamine were significant factors in prediction of vancomycin clearance. alpha Half-lives of 2.8 to 3.7 hours and beta half-lives of 13.4 to 33.7 hours suggest that some individuals in this neonatal population have considerably longer half-lives than those previously reported.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
