Abstract
AIMS Beta-lactam dose optimization in critical care is a current priority. We aimed to review the pharmacokinetics (PK) of three commonly used beta-lactams (amoxicillin ± clavulanate, piperacillin-tazobactam and meropenem) to compare PK parameters reported in critically and noncritically ill neonates, children and adults, and to investigate whether allometric and maturation scaling principles could be applied to describe changes in PK parameters through life. METHODS A systematic review of PK studies of the three drugs was undertaken using MEDLINE and EMBASE. PK parameters and summary statistics were extracted and scaled using allometric principles to 70 kg individual for comparison. Pooled data were used to model clearance maturation and decline using a sigmoidal (Hill) function. RESULTS A total of 130 papers were identified. Age ranged from 29 weeks to 82 years and weight from 0.9-200 kg. PK parameters from critically ill populations were reported with wider confidence intervals than those in healthy volunteers, indicating greater PK variability in critical illness. The standard allometric size and sigmoidal maturation model adequately described increasing clearance in neonates, and a sigmoidal model was also used to describe decline in older age. Adult weight-adjusted clearance was achieved at approximately 2 years postmenstrual age. Changes in volume of distribution were well described by the standard allometric model, although amoxicillin data suggested a relatively higher volume of distribution in neonates. CONCLUSIONS Critical illness is associated with greater PK variability than in healthy volunteers. The maturation models presented will be useful for optimizing beta-lactam dosing, although a prospective, age-inclusive study is warranted for external validation.

Abstract
PURPOSE To build a physiologically based pharmacokinetic model describing drug kinetics in interstitial fluid in case of hemorrhagic shock, and to propose a simple method to determine the subset of influential parameters that may be estimated with the data at hand. METHODS The model, which accounts for alterations of regional blood flows and body water distribution, was fitted to amoxicillin and clavulanate kinetic data, assessed in 12 trauma patients with hemorrhagic shock by comparison with 12 healthy volunteers. The predictions were the free concentrations of amoxicillin and clavulanate in 14 organs. RESULTS In all tissues of trauma patients, the rate of distribution was lower, but the steady-state level was higher than those in healthy participants. Blood volume was reduced by 25% and blood flow in organs other than lung, brain, and heart were reduced by 18%. Compared with healthy subjects, the time that free amoxicillin concentration remained above 8 mg/L in the interstitial fluid of trauma patients was higher in blood and muscles, and lower in the tendon compartment. CONCLUSIONS The results and predictions were consistent with the knowledge in this field. The model may be useful to optimize clinical trial designs and drug dosing regimens.
