Population pharmacokinetics of vancomycin in Chinese patients with augmented renal clearance

Journal of Infection and Public Health · 10.1016/j.jiph.2019.06.016

Structure

A one-compartment model, driven by age.

Study population

Augmented renal clearance patients — China and Asia. Fitted to 95 patients and 186 concentration observations.

Covariate As reported
Age 45 (IQR 30–57) yr
Weight 70 (IQR 60–80) kg
CrCl 175.9 (IQR 142.2–198.1) mL/min
SCr 46 (IQR 38–56) mg/dL

Reported as the source publication gives them — mean ± SD, or median with range or interquartile range.

Equations

The model's structural parameters as Chorus implements them.

CL=8.515(10.01175(Age45))CL = 8.515 \cdot (1 - 0.01175 \cdot (Age - 45))V1=155.4V_1 = 155.4
LaTeX source
CL = 8.515 \cdot (1 - 0.01175 \cdot (Age - 45))
V_1 = 155.4

Implementation notes

Developed specifically for Chinese patients with augmented renal clearance (CLcr ≥130 mL/min).
