The data comprise of 34 patients; 23 of male patients and 11 of female patients. The TDM data that had been collected from these patients is 71 data.

The patient parameters including body weight, gender, age, creatinine clearance (ClCr) and serum electrolytes were analyzed to identify their potential influences on gentamicin pharmacokinetics. The data was best described with a one-compartment model. The data analysis showed that there is a strong relationship between Ke and volume of distribution (Vd) with R2 value of 0.98, weight and clearance with R2 value of 0.99, and relationship between creatinine clearance (CrCl) and clearance of drug with R2 value is 0.917. The mean of Ke, t1/2 and Vd in this study, were 0.18 hour-1, 4.31 hour and 0.54 L respectively.
