Figure 3

Graphical representation of the expected improvement in vancomycin trough target levels with application of the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaborative models. Predicted trough for each model (x-axis) versus actual trough or versus the expected trough when targeting 15 mg/L with the model (y-axis) for model 5 (a,b), model 6 (c,d), and model 7 (e,f). The improvement in the proportion that would have an expected trough of 10 to 20 mg/L for each model is also shown. The more refined analysis targeting a trough of 10 to 15 or 15 to 20 mg/L (depending on the clinical indication for treatment) is presented in the text and tables.
