To determine the association of aminoglycoside plasma levels with therapeutic outcome in gram-negative pneumonia, the case reports of 37 patients from 4 prospective, randomized, controlled trials of gentamicin, tobramycin and amikacin were analyzed. Twenty (54%) of these patients had a favorable outcome. Patients with maximal 1-h postinfusion (peak) levels of 7 .mu.g/ml or greater for gentamicin and tobramycin or 28 .mu.g/ml or greater for amikacin more often had successful outcomes (14 of 18, 78%) than those with levels less than this (6 of 19, 32%) (P < 0.006). Patients with overall mean peak levels of 6 .mu.g/ml or greater for gentamicin and tobramycin or 24 .mu.g/ml or greater for amikacin more often had successful outcomes (14 of 20, 70%) than those with levels less than this (6 of 17, 35%) (P < 0.04). The initial patient temperature, serum urea nitrogen/creatinine ratio, initial polymorphonuclear leukocyte count, and age were also associated with outcome; but by multivariate analysis, achieving an adequate peak concentration was the most important discriminating factor. These results suggest the potential importance of achieving adequate aminoglycoside levels in patients with gram-negative pneumonia.
