    MIPD works! Bayesian AUC-guided dosing in years 2 and 3 was associated with fewer additional blood samples per subject (3.6, 2.0, and 2.4; P < 0.003), shorter therapy durations (8.2, 5.4, and 4.7 days; P < 0.03), and reduced nephrotoxicity (8%, 0%, and 2%; P < 0.01). The median inpatient stay was 20
