Evaluation of the predictive performance of an online voriconazole dose calculator in children.
Background: The dosing of voriconazole is challenging in pediatrics. One approach to improve the dosing is through the use of Bayesian concentration-guided dosing software. Our study assessed the predictive performance of a freely available online voriconazole dose calculator in pediatric patients "NextDose" ( https://www.nextdose.org/ ).
Methods: Per each dose calculator, we predicted voriconazole concentrations. We did both a priori and a posteriori Bayesian predictions.
Results: A total of 51 patients were included in this study. For a priori predictions, bias was + 26% while imprecision was 70%. For a posteriori predictions, bias and imprecision were 0.01% and 46%.
Discussion: In conclusion, the available online dose calculator was overpredicting the concentrations before voriconazole observations were available. However, with just one measured concentration, the predictions improved with minimal bias and an acceptable level of imprecision. There is a need for more prospective studies evaluating the use of voriconazole dosing calculators in the pediatric population to assess if they can improve the achievement of therapeutic target concentrations compared to standard of care.
期刊介绍:
The European Journal of Clinical Pharmacology publishes original papers on all aspects of clinical pharmacology and drug therapy in humans. Manuscripts are welcomed on the following topics: therapeutic trials, pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics, pharmacogenetics, drug metabolism, adverse drug reactions, drug interactions, all aspects of drug development, development relating to teaching in clinical pharmacology, pharmacoepidemiology, and matters relating to the rational prescribing and safe use of drugs. Methodological contributions relevant to these topics are also welcomed.
Data from animal experiments are accepted only in the context of original data in man reported in the same paper. EJCP will only consider manuscripts describing the frequency of allelic variants in different populations if this information is linked to functional data or new interesting variants. Highly relevant differences in frequency with a major impact in drug therapy for the respective population may be submitted as a letter to the editor.
Straightforward phase I pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic studies as parts of new drug development will only be considered for publication if the paper involves
-a compound that is interesting and new in some basic or fundamental way, or
-methods that are original in some basic sense, or
-a highly unexpected outcome, or
-conclusions that are scientifically novel in some basic or fundamental sense.
