ABSTRACT A retrospective study was conducted in a large sample of acutely hospitalized older patients who underwent therapeutic drug monitoring during levofloxacin treatment. The aim was to assess the population pharmacokinetics (popPK) and pharmacodynamics of levofloxacin among older patients. PopPK and Monte Carlo simulation were performed to define the permissible doses in older patients according to various degrees of renal function. Classification and regression tree (CART) analysis was used to detect the cutoff 24-hour area under the concentration-time curve (AUC24)/MIC ratio that best correlated with the clinical outcome. The probability of target attainment (PTA) of this value was calculated against different pathogens. A total of 168 patients were included, and 330 trough and 239 peak concentrations were used for the popPK analysis. Creatinine clearance (CrCL) was the only covariate that improved the model fit (levofloxacin CL = 0.399 + 0.051 × CrCLCKD-EPI [creatinine clearance estimated by means of the chronic kidney disease epidemiology]). Drug doses ranged between 500 mg every 48 h and 500 mg every 12 h in relation to different renal functions. The identified cutoff AUC24/MIC ratio (≥95.7) was the only covariate that correlated with a favorable clinical outcome in multivariate regression analysis (odds ratio [OR], 20.85; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.56 to 186.73). PTAs were optimal (>80%) against Escherichia coli and Haemophilus influenzae, borderline against Staphylococcus aureus, and suboptimal against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The levofloxacin doses defined in our study may be effective for the treatment of infections due to bacterial pathogens, with an MIC of ≤0.5 mg/liter in older patients with various degrees of renal function, while minimizing the toxicity risk. Conversely, the addition of another active antimicrobial should be considered whenever treating infections caused by less susceptible pathogens.

ABSTRACT Ceftizoxime is a widely used beta-lactam antimicrobial agent, but pharmacokinetic data for use with clinically ill patients are lacking. We studied the population pharmacokinetics of ceftizoxime in 72 clinically ill patients at a community-based, university-affiliated hospital. A population pharmacokinetic model for ceftizoxime was created by using a prospective observational design. Ceftizoxime was administered by continuous infusion to treat patients with proven or suspected bacterial infections. While the patients were receiving infusions of ceftizoxime, serum samples were collected for pharmacokinetic analysis with the nonlinear mixed-effect modeling program NONMEM. In addition to clearance and volume of distribution, various comorbidities were examined for their influence on the kinetics. All 72 subjects completed the study, and 114 serum samples were collected. Several demographic and comorbidity variables, namely, age, weight, serum creatinine levels, congestive heart failure, and long-term ventilator dependency, had a significant impact on the estimate for ceftizoxime clearance. A mixture model, or two populations for estimation of ceftizoxime clearance, was discovered. One population presented with an additive clearance component of 1.6 liters per h. In addition, a maximizer function for serum creatinine levels was found. In summary, two models for ceftizoxime clearance, mixture and nonmixture, were found and are presented. Clearance for ceftizoxime can be estimated with commonly available clinical information and the models presented. From the clearance estimates, the dose of ceftizoxime to maintain the desired concentration in serum can be determined. Work is needed to validate the model for drug clearance and to evaluate its predictive performance.
