When trying to understand risk factors for a disease, even before we know the causal agents, it is necessary to create a surveillance data set that answers the questions of who, when, and where, and includes any potential covariates which may either promote or prevent the disease. There are a wide variety of surveillance data. For example, hospital discharge data, such as the New York Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System (SPARCS) data, encompass all hospitalized cases in the state, while clinical datasets cover a specially constructed population in pursuit of research of a certain disease type. Analysis of surveillance …

Quantitative Evaluation Of Antibiotic Exposure-Response Relationships Among Patients With Serious Staphylococcal Infections, Thomas Patrick Lodise

This dissertation advances our understanding of antimicrobial exposure-response relationships among patients with serious infections due to Staphylococcus aureus. The need is pressing as treatment of this invasive pathogen has been complicated by the development of antibiotic resistance. One antibiotic resistant phenotype of particular concern is methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). Due to the multi-drug resistant nature of most MRSA strains, vancomycin emerged as the cornerstone of therapy. Although widely used for serious MRSA infections, many clinicians now question its continued utility due to the emergence of MRSA strains with reduced vancomycin susceptibility phenotypes (rVSPs). The literature is developing rapidly, but characterization …
