However, the Css-trough (population mean method predicted value [PMMPV]) calculated using the population mean method (PMM) often deviate from the effective concentration range. In this study, we used the generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) for initial dose planning to create a model that accurately predicts Css-trough, and subsequently assessed its prediction accuracy %K Vancomycin %K Therapeutic drug monitoring %K Initial dose planning %K Generalized linear mixed model %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5385004/
