Dose optimization of β-lactams antibiotics in pediatrics and adults: A systematic review. Front Pharmacol 2022; 13:964005. [PMID: 36210807 PMCID: PMC9532942 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2022.964005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2022] [Accepted: 08/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: β-lactams remain the cornerstone of the empirical therapy to treat various bacterial infections. This systematic review aimed to analyze the data describing the dosing regimen of β-lactams. Methods: Systematic scientific and grey literature was performed in accordance with Preferred Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. The studies were retrieved and screened on the basis of pre-defined exclusion and inclusion criteria. The cohort studies, randomized controlled trials (RCT) and case reports that reported the dosing schedule of β-lactams are included in this study. Results: A total of 52 studies met the inclusion criteria, of which 40 were cohort studies, 2 were case reports and 10 were RCTs. The majority of the studies (34/52) studied the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of a drug. A total of 20 studies proposed dosing schedule in pediatrics while 32 studies proposed dosing regimen among adults. Piperacillin (12/52) and Meropenem (11/52) were the most commonly used β-lactams used in hospitalized patients. As per available evidence, continuous infusion is considered as the most appropriate mode of administration to optimize the safety and efficacy of the treatment and improve the clinical outcomes. Conclusion: Appropriate antibiotic therapy is challenging due to pathophysiological changes among different age groups. The optimization of pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic parameters is useful to support alternative dosing regimens such as an increase in dosing interval, continuous infusion, and increased bolus doses.

UPLC-MS/MS Method for Simultaneous Determination of 14 Antimicrobials in Human Plasma and Cerebrospinal Fluid: Application to Therapeutic Drug Monitoring. JOURNAL OF ANALYTICAL METHODS IN CHEMISTRY 2022; 2022:7048605. [PMID: 35036023 PMCID: PMC8754666 DOI: 10.1155/2022/7048605] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2021] [Revised: 12/09/2021] [Accepted: 12/18/2021] [Indexed: 05/28/2023]
Abstract
Pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics is the foundation for guiding the rational application of antibiotics in clinical practice, so it is necessary to establish quantitative methods for accurate drug concentration determination. This study aimed to develop a rapid and simple ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method for simultaneous quantification of 14 antibiotics (amikacin, etimicin, ceftazidime, cefepime, cefoperazone, ceftriaxone, daptomycin, latamoxef, linezolid, meropenem, biapenem, ampicillin, norvancomycin, and vancomycin) in human plasma and cerebrospinal fluid. Antibiotics were chromatographically separated on a Waters ACQUITY UPLC BEH C18 column (2.1 mm × 50 mm, 1.7 μm) via gradient elution within 3 minutes and were monitored using positive ion fitted with multiple reaction monitoring. The lower limit of quantification was 0.05-2.0 μg·mL-1. The method was verified according to the FDA bioanalysis method validation guidelines, which showed excellent accuracy (from 86.75% to 110.85%) and precision (from 0.46% to 10.97%). At last, this method was successfully applied to therapeutic drug monitoring in 113 patients under antibiotics treatment.

A Systematic Review of Studies Reporting Antibiotic Pharmacokinetic Data in the Cerebrospinal Fluid of Critically Ill Patients with Uninflamed Meninges. Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2020; 65:AAC.01998-20. [PMID: 33077649 DOI: 10.1128/aac.01998-20] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/02/2020] [Accepted: 10/05/2020] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Ventriculostomy-associated infections in critically ill patients remain therapeutically challenging because of drug- and disease-related factors that contribute to suboptimal antibiotic concentrations in cerebrospinal fluid. Optimal antibiotic dosing for the treatment and prevention of such infections should be based on robust and contextually specific pharmacokinetic data. The objects of this study were to describe and critically appraise studies with reported antibiotic concentrations or pharmacokinetic data in cerebrospinal fluid of critically ill patients without meningeal inflammation. We systematically reviewed the literature to identify published reports and studies describing antibiotic concentrations, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics in cerebrospinal fluid of critically ill patients with uninflamed meninges. Fifty-eight articles met the inclusion criteria. There was significant heterogeneity in methodologies and results. When available, antibiotic pharmacokinetic parameters displayed large intersubject variability. Intraventricular dosing achieved substantially higher antibiotic concentrations in cerebrospinal fluid than did intravenous doses. Few studies conducted a robust pharmacokinetic analysis and described relevant clinical pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic indices and exposure targets in cerebrospinal fluid. Robust and clinically relevant antibiotic pharmacokinetic data describing antibiotic disposition in cerebrospinal fluid are necessary. Such studies should use a standardized approach to accurately describe pharmacokinetic variability. These data should ideally be tied to clinical outcomes whereby therapeutic targets in the cerebrospinal fluid can be better defined. Altered dosing strategies, in conjunction with exploring the utility of therapeutic drug monitoring, can then be developed to optimize antibiotic exposure with the goal of improving outcomes in this difficult-to-treat patient group.
