Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
A randomised, controlled trial of once daily and multi-dose daily gentamicin in young Kenyan infants.
To test the suitability of a simple once daily (OD) gentamicin regimen for use in young infants where routine therapeutic drug monitoring is not possible. ⋯ A "two, four, six, eight" OD gentamicin regime, appropriate for premature infants and those in the first days and weeks of life, seems a suitable, safe prescribing guide in resource poor settings.
