Vancomycin Dosing Calculator (Cockcroft-Gault AUC/MIC Method)

Calculates vancomycin dosing using AUC/MIC target attainment methodology per 2020 ASHP/IDSA/SIDP consensus guidelines, integrating Cockcroft-Gault CrCl, patient weight, and target AUC 400-600 mg·h/L.

Clinical Guidance

BMI is a screening measure of body size, not a direct measure of body fat. The standard WHO categories are underweight (<18.5), normal (18.5–24.9), overweight (25–29.9), and obese (≥30).

BMI can overestimate body fat in athletes with high muscle mass and underestimate it in older adults with low muscle mass. Interpret it alongside waist circumference and clinical context rather than as a standalone diagnosis.

How It Works

Calculates vancomycin dosing using AUC/MIC target attainment methodology per 2020 ASHP/IDSA/SIDP consensus guidelines, integrating Cockcroft-Gault CrCl, patient weight, and target AUC 400-600 mg·h/L

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • AUC/MIC target attainment methodology per 2020 ASHP/IDSA/SIDP consensus guidelines — The auc/mic target attainment methodology per 2020 ashp/idsa/sidp consensus guidelines recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Integrating Cockcroft-Gault CrCl — The integrating cockcroft-gault crcl recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Patient weight — The patient weight recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Target AUC 400-600 mg·h/L — The target auc 400-600 mg·h/l recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the vancomycin dosing result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the AUC/MIC target attainment methodology per 2020 ASHP/IDSA/SIDP consensus guidelines, integrating Cockcroft-Gault CrCl, patient weight, target AUC 400-600 mg·h/L for the scenario you are assessing. Calculates vancomycin dosing using AUC/MIC target attainment methodology per 2020 ASHP/IDSA/SIDP consensus guidelines, integrating Cockcroft-Gault CrCl, patient weight, and target AUC 400-600 mg·h/L. Use the vancomycin dosing result to inform your calculation.
