Favorable Effects of Voriconazole Trough Concentrations Exceeding 1 μg/mL on Treatment Success and All-Cause Mortality: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Abstract: This systematic review and meta-analysis examined the optimal trough concentration of voriconazole for adult patients with invasive fungal infections. We used stepwise cutoffs of 0.5–2.0 μg/mL for efficacy and 3.0–6.0 μg/mL for safety. Studies were included if they reported the rates of all-cause mortality and/or treatment success, hepatotoxicity, and nephrotoxicity according to the trough concentration. Twenty-five studies involving 2554 patients were included. The probability of mortality was significantly d… Show more

“…This study solely aimed to evaluate the safety of daptomycin, and there were no randomized controlled trials. We also included noncomparative observational studies in our analysis based on meta‐analyses of previous studies evaluating safety 40–44 . Therefore, our findings may have been some bias and confounding factors.…”

“…The most common adverse effects seen in the present study were hepatotoxicity and neurotoxicity during VRCZ treatment,4 which were significantly increased with trough concentrations >4.0 and >5.0 µg/mL 19 20. For each independent risk factor of continuous variables we calculated the AUC to estimate the ability of the model to predict trough concentrations >5.0 µg/mL.…”

“…In our review, three of four patients who developed toxicity showed a Cmin above 10 mg/L. Recently, some meta-analyses have been reported in order to establish the evidence of PK/PD [ 40 , 41 ]. There is one meta-analysis regarding the Cmin of amikacin for reducing the risk of toxicity in adults [ 42 ].…”
