| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| • To determine specific patient groups at risk of developing gentamicin serum levels > 0.4 mg/l after implantation of gentamicin PMMA-beads. • To investigate the height of gentamicin serum levels after implantation of gentamicin PMMA-beads. • To investigate the duration of raised gentamicin serum levels > 0.4 mg/l. • To investigate the occurrence of nephrotoxicity or other toxicities due to gentamicin PMMA-beads. • To relate the gentamicin serum level to the number of implanted beads • Gentamicin serum level > 0.02 mg/l, measured with a modified TDxFLx method | — |
