After the evaluation, studies were rejected or the data they contain were added to the database.

The plasma imipenem concentration was determined by the high-performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet detection (HPLC-UV) method. A population pharmacokinetic (PPK) model was developed using nonlinear mixed-effects modelling methods to identify covariates. Monte Carlo simulations were performed using the final PPK model to explore the effect of different dosing regimens on the probability of target attainment (PTA).</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The imipenem concentration data were best described by a two-compartment model. Creatinine clearance (CrCl, mL/min) was a covariate that affected central clearance (CLc). Patients were divided into four subgroups based on different CrCl rates. Monte Carlo simulations were performed to assess the PTA differences between empirical dosing regimens (0.5 g every 6 hours (q6h), 0.5 g every 8 hours (q8h), 0.5 g every 12 hours (q12h), 1 g every 6 hours (q6h), 1 g every 8 hours (q8h), and 1 g every 12 hours (q12h)) and to determine the target achievement rate covariate.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>This study identified covariates for CLc, and the proposed final model can be used to guide clinicians administering imipenem in this particular patient population.</p>","PeriodicalId":12050,"journal":{"name":"European journal of hospital pharmacy : science and practice","volume":" ","pages":"434-439"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11347199/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9161414","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
