Survey on the use of therapeutic drug monitoring for treatment of nontuberculous mycobacterial infections - a NTMnet/ESGYMC collaborative study
a survey by Victor Næstholt Dahl, Nicole Maranchick, Rob Aarnoutse, and Jakko van Ingen
The treatment of infections with nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) is long and involves multiple drugs often associated with adverse effects. Microbiological recurrence after treatment is common. Information on the use of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) to optimize the treatment of NTM disease is very sparse, and only a few studies have provided data on its clinical implications. With this survey, we aim to describe the use of TDM in the treatment of NTM disease and barriers to implementation globally. We invite you to share your valuable insights on NTM disease management by participating in our survey. Your feedback is crucial in helping us improve the understanding of the use of TDM in NTM disease treatment. The survey will take approximately 5-10 minutes, and your responses remain confidential. All questions relate to the use of TDM in patients with NTM disease and not in patients with tuberculosis. We would very much like your participation if you work with NTM patients in clinical practice or are involved in NTM disease and TDM in other ways (e.g., laboratory work or research).
The survey is kindly distributed by NTMnet and ESGMYC, but we would appreciate it if you shared it with other relevant individuals or societies within your country or network.
