Gentamicin, genetic variation and deafness in preterm children. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Hearing loss in children born before 32 weeks of gestation is more prevalent than in full term infants. Aminoglycoside antibiotics are routinely used to treat bacterial infections in babies on neonatal intensive care units.

Role of otoacoustic emissions in the early detection and prevention of ototoxicity

open access: yesJournal of Marine Medical Society, 2018
Introduction: Evaluating Otoacoustic Emissions (OAEs) is one of the audiological methods for ototoxicity monitoring. The absence of OAEs indicates cochlear damage.

Systematic review and scoring‐based selection of pharmacokinetic models for precision dosing of vancomycin in neonates and children

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
This systematic review identified 112 population pharmacokinetic models of vancomycin in neonates and children. To support rational model selection for model‐informed precision, we developed and applied expert‐driven, transparent criteria that integrate both methodological rigour and clinical relevance.

Systemic aminoglycosides-induced vestibulotoxicity in humans

open access: yes, 2017
Objectives: This systematic review aimed to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of vestibular adverse effects of aminoglycoside (AG) therapy in humans and to analyze objective vestibular tests for the detection of AG-induced vestibulotoxicity.

Bayesian estimation of tobramycin exposure in cystic fibrosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Fixed tobramycin (mg/kg) dosing is often inappropriate in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF), as pharmacokinetics are highly variable. The area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) is an exposure metric suited to monitoring in this population ...

Contraindicated drug–drug interactions and associated adverse drug reactions in an observational cohort study of 4543 paediatric hospitalized patients

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Drug–drug interactions (DDIs) are associated with an increased risk of adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Hospitalized children are particularly vulnerable to DDIs and ADRs due to polypharmacy, frequent use of unlicensed or off‐label medications, and dosing regimens often extrapolated from adult data.

Impact of drug-resistant tuberculosis treatment on hearing function in South African adults: Bedaquiline versus kanamycin

open access: yesSouth African Journal of Communication Disorders, 2021
Background: Ototoxicity linked to medications used to treat tuberculosis (TB) remains a global challenge. Objectives: The aim was to describe the audiological function in a group of adults with drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) on bedaquiline (G-BDQ ...

Metabolomic investigation of cisplatin‐induced acute kidney injury in paediatric cancer patients

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aim Cisplatin causes acute kidney injury (AKI) in approximately 46% of paediatric cancer patients who receive it. Serum creatinine (SCr) is a poor biomarker of cisplatin nephrotoxicity, because there is a delay between cisplatin infusion and SCr elevation.

Restrictive antibiotic stewardship associated with reduced hospital mortality in gram-negative infection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Introduction: Antimicrobial stewardship has an important role in the control of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) and antibiotic resistance. An important component of UK stewardship interventions is the restriction of broad-spectrum beta-lactam ...
