Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Time (days) from start of treatment to first measurement of a plasma vancomycin concentration between 20 and 25 mg/mL	The title is a full description.	Until the end of treatment or discharge from unit
Primary	Relationship between time to intended concentration (15-20 mg/L) and adherence to the dosing protocol (% complete adherence).	For each patient the actually administired dose of vancomycin will be compared to the recommendation in the dosing protocol. The time to the intended concentration will be compared between patients with 100% adherence to the recommendations and for patients with dosing not following the recommendations.	Until the end of treatment or discharge from unit
Secondary	Percentage of the total treatment duration with the intended plasma concentration 15-20 mg/L.	The title is a full description.	Until the end of treatment or discharge from unit
Secondary	Relationship between Percentage of the total treatment duration with the intended plasma concentration (15-20 mg/L) and adherence to the dosing protocol.	The title in combination with the description of outcome 2 is a sufficient description.	Until the end of treatment or discharge from unit
