Project description:Tedizolid is a novel oxazolidinone antimicrobial administered in its prodrug form, tedizolid phosphate, as a fixed once-daily dose. The pharmacokinetics of tedizolid has been studied in a relatively small proportion of morbidly obese (body mass index [BMI] of ?40 kg/m(2)) adults through population analyses with sparse sampling. The current study compared the intensively sampled plasma pharmacokinetics of tedizolid phosphate and tedizolid in 9 morbidly obese and 9 age-, sex-, and ideal body weight-matched nonobese (BMI, 18.5 to 29.9 kg/m(2)) healthy adult (18 to 50 years of age) volunteers after administration of a single intravenous dose of tedizolid phosphate. The median (range) weights were 72.6 kg (58.9 to 89.5 kg) and 117 kg (102 to 176 kg) for the mostly female (77.8%) nonobese and morbidly obese adults, respectively. Tedizolid phosphate concentrations were below the limit of quantitation in a majority of subjects after the 2-h time point. The tedizolid median (range) maximum concentration of drug in plasma (Cmax) and area under the concentration-time curve from 0 h to infinity (AUC0-?) were 2.38 (1.28 to 3.99) mg/liter and 26.3 (18.4 to 43.2) h · mg/liter, respectively, for morbidly obese subjects, and these were nonsignificantly different (P ? 0.214) from the values for nonobese subjects. Similarly, the volumes of distribution (Vz) (P = 0.110) and clearance (CL) values (P = 0.214) were comparable between groups. Nearly identical (P = 0.953) median tedizolid half-lives of approximately 12 h were observed for both groups. Tedizolid Vz and CL scaled with body weight, but not proportionately. The small and nonsignificant differences in tedizolid AUC0-? values between morbidly obese and nonobese subjects suggest that dose modification is not necessary for morbidly obese adults.

Project description:BACKGROUND:The clearance of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A substrates is reported to be reduced with lower age, inflammation and obesity. As it is unknown what the overall influence is of these factors in the case of obese adolescents vs. morbidly obese adults, we studied covariates influencing the clearance of the CYP3A substrate midazolam in a combined analysis of data from obese adolescents and morbidly obese adults. METHODS:Data from 19 obese adolescents [102.7 kg (62-149.5 kg)] and 20 morbidly obese adults [144 kg (112-186 kg)] receiving intravenous midazolam were analysed, using population pharmacokinetic modelling (NONMEM 7.2). In the covariate analysis, the influence of study group, age, total body weight (TBW), developmental weight (WTfor age and length) and excess body weight (WTexcess = TBW - WTfor age and length) was evaluated. RESULTS:The population mean midazolam clearance was significantly higher in obese adolescents than in morbidly obese adults [0.71 (7%) vs. 0.44 (11%) L/min; p < 0.01]. Moreover, clearance in obese adolescents increased with TBW (p < 0.01), which seemed mainly explained by WTexcess, and for which a so-called 'excess weight' model scaling WTfor age and length to the power of 0.75 and a separate function for WTexcess was proposed. DISCUSSION:We hypothesise that higher midazolam clearance in obese adolescents is explained by less obesity-induced suppression of CYP3A activity, while the increase with WTexcess is explained by increased liver blood flow. The approach characterising the influence of obesity in the paediatric population we propose here may be of value for use in future studies in obese adolescents.

Project description:The treatment of infections in critically ill obese and morbidly obese patients is challenging because of the combined physiological changes that result from obesity and critical illness. The aim of this study was to describe the population pharmacokinetics of piperacillin in a cohort of critically ill patients, including obese and morbidly obese patients. Critically ill patients who received piperacillin-tazobactam were classified according to their body mass index (BMI) as nonobese, obese, and morbidly obese. Plasma samples were collected, and piperacillin concentrations were determined by a validated chromatographic method. Population pharmacokinetic analysis and Monte Carlo dosing simulations were performed using Pmetrics software. Thirty-seven critically ill patients (including 12 obese patients and 12 morbidly obese patients) were enrolled. The patients' mean ± standard deviation age, weight, and BMI were 50 ± 15 years, 104 ± 35 kg, and 38.0 ± 15.0 kg/m2, respectively. The concentration-time data were best described by a two-compartment linear model. The mean ± SD parameter estimates for the final covariate model were a clearance of 14.0 ± 7.1 liters/h, a volume of distribution of the central compartment of 49.0 ± 19.0 liters, an intercompartmental clearance from the central compartment to the peripheral compartment of 0.9 ± 0.6 liters · h-1, and an intercompartmental clearance from the peripheral compartment to the central compartment of 2.3 ± 2.8 liters · h-1 A higher measured creatinine clearance and shorter-duration infusions were associated with a lower likelihood of achieving therapeutic piperacillin exposures in patients in all BMI categories. Piperacillin pharmacokinetics are altered in the presence of obesity and critical illness. As with nonobese patients, prolonged infusions increase the likelihood of achieving therapeutic concentrations.

Project description:Optimal dosing of propofol to maintain appropriate anesthetic depth is challenging in severely obese (SO) adolescents. We previously reported that total body weight (TBW) is predictive of propofol clearance. This study was aimed at characterizing pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of propofol in SO adolescents, using bispectral index (BIS), and toward developing PK/PD model-based dosing guidelines.A prospective PK/PD study was conducted in 26 SO children and adolescents aged 9-18 years (body mass index 31-69 kg·m(-2)), undergoing surgery with intravenous propofol anesthesia clinically titrated by providers blinded to BIS. BIS data and propofol infusion schemes were recorded. Venous blood samples collected during and after propofol infusion were assayed for propofol concentrations. A propofol PK/PD model was developed using NONMEM and model-based simulations were performed to determine propofol dosing regimens targeting BIS of 50 ± 10.A three-compartment PK model linked to a sigmoidal inhibitory Emax PD model by a first-order rate constant, adequately described the propofol concentration (n = 375) and BIS (n = 3334) data. TBW was the most predictive covariate for propofol clearance [CL (l·min(-1) ) = 1.65 × (TBW/70)(0.75)]. An effect-site propofol concentration of 3.19 ?g·ml(-1) was estimated for half-maximal effect, with no identifiable predictive covariates. The proposed maintenance dosing regimen targeted to a BIS of 50 ± 10, based on our PK/PD model, was able to predict desired propofol concentrations and BIS in a representative obese teen when used in conjunction with accepted PK/PD models for children/obese adults (PK:Eleveld/PD: Cortinez), further supporting evidence for the dosing based on TBW.This is the first study to describe the PK/PD of propofol in SO adolescents. The proposed maintenance dosing regimen for propofol uses TBW in an allometric function as a dosing scalar, with an exponent of 0.75. Our results suggest no relevant effect of obesity on the propofol concentration-BIS relationship.

Project description:Background/aimIncreased body mass index (BMI) and neck circumference are the two independent predictors of difficult intubation. McGrath MAC X-Blade is a videolaryngoscope specifically designed for difficult intubations.Materials and methodsEighty patients with the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I–III undergoing elective surgery requiring endotracheal intubation were enrolled in the study. Patients were divided into two groups, nonobese (BMI < 30) and morbidly obese (BMI > 35). All patients were intubated with the McGrath MAC X-Blade in both groups. View optimization and tube insertion maneuvers such as reinsertion of the device, slight removal of the device, cricoid pressure, handling force, 90° anticlockwise rotation of the tube, use of stylet, and head flexion maneuvers were recorded. Cormack–Lehane grades, insertion times, intubation, and total intubation times were recorded. The hemodynamic changes and postoperative minor complications were also recorded.ResultsBody mass index, neck circumference, Mallampati scores, and ASA physical status were statistically higher in the morbidly obese group (P < 0.001 and P < 0.05). Sternomental distances were shorter in the morbidly obese (P < 0.05). Cormack–Lehane grades were comparable among the groups. The morbidly obese patients required more reinsertion attempts and cricoid pressure maneuvers during intubation than the nonobese patients (P = 0.019 versus P = 0.012, respectively). Slight removal of the device, handling force, use of the stylet, 90° anticlockwise rotation of the tube, and head flexion maneuvers were also helpful in both groups. Although device insertion times were similar between the groups, intubation and total intubation times were longer in the morbidly obese group (P = 0.009 and P = 0.034, respectively). The groups were comparable in hemodynamic changes and postoperative minor complications.ConclusionThe McGrath MAC X-Blade videolaryngoscope could safely be used both in nonobese (BMI < 30) and morbidly obese (BMI > 35) patients with the aid of some key maneuvers and with a statistically significant but clinically negligible prolongation of the intubation time.

Project description:BackgroundIt is unclear whether asthma is overdiagnosed in developed countries, particularly among obese individuals, who may be more likely than nonobese people to experience dyspnea.MethodsWe conducted a longitudinal study involving nonobese (body mass index 20-25) and obese (body mass index >/= 30) individuals with asthma that had been diagnosed by a physician. Participants were recruited from 8 Canadian cities by means of random-digit dialing. A diagnosis of current asthma was excluded in those who did not have evidence of acute worsening of asthma symptoms, reversible airflow obstruction or bronchial hyperresponsiveness, despite being weaned off asthma medications. We stopped asthma medications in those in whom a diagnosis of asthma was excluded and assessed their clinical outcomes over 6 months.ResultsOf 540 individuals with physician-diagnosed asthma who participated in the study, 496 (242 obese and 254 nonobese) could be conclusively assessed for a diagnosis of asthma. Asthma was ultimately excluded in 31.8% (95% confidence interval [CI] 26.3%-37.9%) in the obese group and in 28.7% (95% CI 23.5%-34.6%) in the nonobese group. Overdiagnosis of asthma was no more likely to occur among obese individuals than among nonobese individuals (p = 0.46). Of those in whom asthma was excluded, 65.5% did not need to take asthma medication or seek health care services because of asthma symptoms during a 6-month follow-up period.InterpretationAbout one-third of obese and nonobese individuals with physician-diagnosed asthma did not have asthma when objectively assessed. This finding suggests that, in developed countries such as Canada, asthma is overdiagnosed.

Project description:Although obesity is prevalent among children in the United States, pharmacokinetic (PK) data for obese children are limited. Clindamycin is a commonly used antibiotic that may require dose adjustment in obese children due to its lipophilic properties. We performed a clindamycin population PK analysis using data from three separate trials. A total of 420 samples from 220 children, 76 of whom had a body mass index greater than or equal to the 95th percentile for age, were included in the analysis. Compared to other metrics, total body weight (TBW) was the most robust measure of body size. The final model included TBW and a sigmoidal maturation relationship between postmenstrual age (PMA) and clearance (CL): CL (liters/hour) = 13.8 × (TBW/70)0.75 × [PMA2.83/(39.52.83+PMA2.83)]; volume of distribution (V) was associated with TBW, albumin (ALB), and alpha-1 acid glycoprotein (AAG): V (liters) = 63.6 × (TBW/70) × (ALB/3.3)-0.83 × (AAG/2.4)-0.25 After accounting for differences in TBW, obesity status did not explain additional interindividual variability in model parameters. Our findings support TBW-based dosing for obese and nonobese children.

Project description:BACKGROUND AND AIMS:Pharmacokinetic data for proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), acid-suppression drugs commonly prescribed to children, are lacking for obese children who are at greatest risk for acid-related disease. In a recent multi-center investigation, we demonstrated decreased, total body weight adjusted, apparent clearance (CL/F) of the PPI pantoprazole for obese children compared with their non-obese peers. Subsequently, we developed a population-based pharmacokinetic (PopPK) model to characterize pantoprazole disposition and evaluated appropriate pantoprazole dosing strategies for obese pediatric patients, using simulation. METHODS:Pharmacokinetic data from the only prospective study of PPIs in obese children (aged 6-17 years; n?=?40) included 273 pantoprazole and 256 pantoprazole-sulfone plasma concentrations, after single oral-dose administration, and were used for pantoprazole model development and covariate analysis (NONMEM®). Model evaluation was performed via bootstrapping and predictive checks, and the final model was applied to simulate systemic pantoprazole exposures for common dosing scenarios. RESULTS:A two-compartment PopPK model, which included CYP2C19 genotype and total body weight, provided the best fit. Resultant, typical, weight-normalized pantoprazole parameter estimates were different than previously reported for children or adults, with significantly reduced pantoprazole CL/F for obese children. Of the dosing scenarios evaluated, the weight-tiered approach, approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, achieved pantoprazole exposures [area under the curve (AUC0-?)] within ranges previously reported as therapeutic, without over- or under-prediction for obese children. CONCLUSIONS:Our data argue against empiric dose escalation of PPIs for obese children and support current FDA-approved pediatric weight-tiered dosing for pantoprazole; however, 3- to 5-fold inter-individual variability in pantoprazole AUC0-? remained using this dosing approach.

Project description:Coupled with an aging society, the rising obesity prevalence is likely to increase the future burden of physical disability. We set out to determine whether obesity modified the effects of a physical activity (PA) intervention designed to prevent mobility disability in older adults. Older adults at risk for disability (N = 424, age range: 70-88 years) were randomized to a 12 month PA intervention involving moderate intensity aerobic, strength, balance, and flexibility exercise (150 min per week) or a successful aging (SA) intervention involving weekly educational workshops. Individuals were stratified by obesity using a BMI >or=30 (n = 179). Mobility function was assessed as usual walking speed over 400 m and scores on a short physical performance battery (SPPB), which includes short distance walking, balance tests, and chair rises. Over 12 months of supervised training, the attendance and total amount of walking time was similar between obese and nonobese subjects and no weight change was observed. Nonobese participants in the PA group had significant increases in 400-m walking speed (+1.5%), whereas their counterparts in the SA group declined (-4.3%). In contrast, obese individuals declined regardless of their assigned intervention group (PA: -3.1%; SA: -4.9%). SPPB scores, however, increased following PA in both obese (PA: +13.5%; SA: +2.5%) and nonobese older adults (PA: +18.6%; SA: +6.1%). A moderate intensity PA intervention improves physical function in older adults, but the positive benefits are attenuated with obesity.

Project description:Background & aimsTo study the origin of fat excess in the livers of morbidly obese (MO) individuals, we analysed lipids and lipases in both plasma and liver and genes involved in lipid transport, or related with, in that organ.MethodsThirty-two MO patients were grouped according to the absence (healthy: DM - DL -) or presence of comorbidities (dyslipidemic: DM - DL +; or dyslipidemic with type 2 diabetes: DM + DL +) before and one year after gastric bypass.ResultsThe livers of healthy, DL and DM patients contained more lipids (9.8, 9.5 and 13.7 times, respectively) than those of control subjects. The genes implicated in liver lipid uptake, including HL, LPL, VLDLr, and FAT/CD36, showed increased expression compared with the controls. The expression of genes involved in lipid-related processes outside of the liver, such as apoB, PPAR? and PGC1?, CYP7a1 and HMGCR, was reduced in these patients compared with the controls. PAI1 and TNF? gene expression in the diabetic livers was increased compared with the other obese groups and control group. Increased steatosis and fibrosis were also noted in the MO individuals.ConclusionsHepatic lipid parameters in MO patients change based on their comorbidities. The gene expression and lipid levels after bariatric surgery were less prominent in the diabetic patients. Lipid receptor overexpression could enable the liver to capture circulating lipids, thus favouring the steatosis typically observed in diabetic and dyslipidaemic MO individuals.
