ABSTRACT
We performed a retrospective case-cohort study of 50 obese pediatric patients aged 2 to 18 years who received scheduled gentamicin therapy, with serum peak and trough concentrations measured. Obese pediatric patients had significantly higher gentamicin serum peak and trough concentrations despite receiving significantly lower mg/kg of actual body weight doses of gentamicin.
