Resum
Background: Initial appropriate anti-infective therapy is associated with improved outcomes in patients with severe infections. In critically ill patients, altered pharmacokinetic (PK) behaviour is common and known to influence the achievement of PK/pharmacodynamic targets. Objectives: To describe population PK and optimized dosing regimens for flucloxacillin in critically ill patients. Methods: First, we developed a population PK model, estimated between-patient variability (BPV) and identified covariates that could explain BPV through non-linear mixed-effects analysis, using total and unbound concentrations obtained from 35 adult critically ill patients treated with intermittent flucloxacillin. Second, we validated the model using external datasets from two different countries. Finally, frequently prescribed dosing regimens were evaluated using Monte Carlo simulations. Results: A two-compartment model with non-linear protein binding was developed and validated. BPV of the maximum binding capacity decreased from 42.2% to 30.4% and BPV of unbound clearance decreased from 88.1% to 71.6% upon inclusion of serumalbumin concentrations and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR; by CKD-EPI equation), respectively. PTA (target of 100%fT(>MIC)) was 91% for patients with eGFR of 33mL/min and 1 g q6h, 87% for patients with eGFR of 96 mL/min and 2 g q4h and 71% for patients with eGFR of 153 mL/min and 2 g q4h. Conclusions: For patients with high creatinine clearance who are infected with moderately susceptible pathogens, therapeutic drug monitoring is advised since there is a risk of underexposure to flucloxacillin. Due to the non-linear protein binding of flucloxacillin and the high prevalence of hypoalbuminaemia in critically ill patients, dose adjustments should be based on unbound concentrations.
