摘要
背景:低体重(LBW)患者经常表现出肾脏清除率和全身水分的药代动力学(PK)改变。这些变化使β-内酰胺抗生素的剂量复杂化,可能导致次优疗效或毒性增加。目的:评价哌拉西林/他唑巴坦(TZP)、头孢吡肟(FEP)、美罗培南(MEM)治疗的LBW患者PK/药效学(PD)指标的实现情况、亚治疗浓度和超治疗浓度的发生率以及神经毒性的发生率。设计:2020年1月至2022年12月在某三级医院进行前瞻性观察性研究。方法:纳入接受TZP、FEP或MEM治疗的体重指数≥18.5 kg/m2的成年患者。谷血清浓度分析PK/PD目标:100%时间高于最低抑制浓度(100% fT > MIC)和100%时间高于4倍MIC (100% fT > 4MIC)。采用标准化标准评估神经毒性。统计分析确定了与浓度变异性和不良结果相关的因素。结果:纳入72例患者:29例采用TZP, 23例采用FEP, 20例采用MEM。所有抗生素的100% fT b> MIC目标达到率相当(~70%),但FEP的100% fT bbbb4 MIC达到率(47.8%)显著高于TZP(10.3%)和MEM (30%) (p = 0.01)。在34.8%的FEP使用者中观察到超治疗浓度,而TZP和MEM分别为3.4%和5% (p = 0.002)。13%的FEP患者发生神经毒性,而TZP或MEM组未报告神经毒性(p = 0.04)。在所有组中约30%的患者中发现亚治疗浓度。结论:药代动力学变化使β-内酰胺类抗生素给药复杂化,经常导致药代动力学/药代动力学指标无法达到。FEP表现出特别高的超治疗浓度和神经毒性风险。治疗药物监测对于优化该人群的剂量和提高安全性至关重要。
Navigating pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics challenges of β-lactam antibiotics in patients with low body weight: efficacy, toxicity, and dosage optimization.
Background: Patients with low body weight (LBW) often exhibit altered pharmacokinetics (PK) in renal clearance and total body water. These changes complicate β-lactam antibiotic dosing, potentially resulting in suboptimal efficacy or increased toxicity.
Objectives: To evaluate the attainment of PK/pharmacodynamic (PD) targets, the prevalence of subtherapeutic and supratherapeutic concentrations, and the incidence of neurotoxicity among LBW patients treated with piperacillin/tazobactam (TZP), cefepime (FEP), and meropenem (MEM).
Design: A prospective observational study conducted at a tertiary hospital from January 2020 to December 2022.
Methods: Adult patients with a body mass index ⩽18.5 kg/m2 who received TZP, FEP, or MEM were included. Trough serum concentrations were analyzed for PK/PD targets: 100% time above minimum inhibitory concentration (100% fT > MIC) and 100% time above four times MIC (100% fT > 4MIC). Neurotoxicity was assessed using standardized criteria. Statistical analyses identified factors associated with concentration variability and adverse outcomes.
Results: Seventy-two patients were included: 29 received TZP, 23 FEP, and 20 MEM. Achievement of the 100% fT > MIC target was comparable across all antibiotics (~70%), but 100% fT > 4 MIC attainment was significantly higher for FEP (47.8%) than for TZP (10.3%) and MEM (30%) (p = 0.01). Supratherapeutic concentrations were observed in 34.8% of FEP users compared to 3.4% and 5% for TZP and MEM, respectively (p = 0.002). Neurotoxicity occurred in 13% of FEP patients but was not reported in TZP or MEM groups (p = 0.04). Subtherapeutic concentrations were noted in approximately 30% of patients across all groups.
Conclusion: PK changes complicate β-lactam antibiotic dosing, resulting in frequent failure to achieve PK/PD targets. FEP demonstrated a particularly high risk of supratherapeutic concentrations and neurotoxicity. Therapeutic drug monitoring is crucial to optimize dosing and improve safety in this population.
