4 Obesity in the ICU is a common situation 3 National Health Service Hospitals London ( ) Prevalence of obese patients receiving an antibiotic therapy 22% obese patients (69% normal/overweight and 9% underweight) Increased risk of complicated antibiotic therapy (Odds ratio 2.01 [ ]) (second- or third-line therapy ; (ii) IV therapy where an alternative oral therapy was appropriate; (iii) longer than the recommended duration of therapy as per local policy recommendations; (iv) repeated courses of therapy to treat the same infection; and (v) specialist advice on antimicrobial therapy) Charani E et al. J Antimicrob Chemother 2015;70: Medical centers (Canada, USA and Saudi Arabia) ( ) Impact of septic shock in obese patients 8670 patients, 33% obese patients Increased risk of SSTI and Gram-positive micro-organisms Less likely to have pneumonia No significant relationship with mortality rates Arabi YM et al. Crit Care 2013;17:R32

5 A paucity of advice and evidence Analysis (Spring 2016) of the summary of product characteristics (SPC) for 42 of the most clinically important and frequently prescribed antibacterial agents in UK. No advice provided Specific dosing strategies suggested (AMK, GEN, TOB, TEI) Caution than dose may be altered (DAP, VAN) Advice suggests that no dosing adjustment is necessary (TIGE) Boyd SE et al. J Antimicrob Chemother 2016; 71:

6 Pharmacokinetic changes Intestinal absorption of lipophilic AB Obesityassociated kidney failure Reduced hepatic metabolism due to fatty infiltration Variable effect of cytochrome P450 enzymes Delayed gastric emptying/ decreased absorption Increased glomerular filtration rate Increased volume of distribution (fat cells) Increase in serum AB concentrations Decrease in serum AB concentrations Uneasy to make any pharmacokinetic predictions linked to contradictory signals and depending of the type of drug Al-Dorzi H et al. Curr Opin Infect Dis 2014;27:

7 Pharmacokinetic changes Examples Pharmacokinetics Changes in obesity Hydrophilic drugs ß-lactamins (penicillins, cephalosporins, carbapenems) Aminoglycosides Vancomycin Colistin Most have low volume of distribution Most have a renal Clearance and low intracellular/tissue penetration Little effect on the volume of distribution Increased renal clearance (unless renal dysfunction is present) Lipophilic drugs Fluoroquinolones Macrolides Tigecycline High volume of distribution Hepatic clearance High intracellular/tissue penetration Increased volume of distribution Variables effects on hepatic clearance Al-Dorzi H et al.

Curr Opin Infect Dis 2014;27:

11 How to assess (the weight of) our patients? Total body weight: TBW Ideal body weight: IBW Adjusted body weight: ABW Lean body mass: LBM

12 The debated definitions IBW: Ideal Body Weight Al-Dorzi H et al. Curr Opin Infect Dis 2014;27:

13 IBW in males IBW in females Devine BJ. Drug Intell Clin Pharm. 1974; 8: IBW (M) IBW (F) Ideal Body Weight = 50 kg kg/inch for height over 5 feet = 45.5 kg kg/inch for height over 5 feet = 50 kg kg/inch for height over 5 feet = 49 kg kg/inch for height over 5 feet Robinson JD et al. Am J Hosp Pharm. 1983; 40: Derived from tables used by insurance companies IBW (M) = 50 kg kg for each inch above 60 inches of height IBW (F) = 45.5 kg kg for each inch above 60 inches of height Al-Dorzi H et al. Curr Opin Infect Dis 2014;27: Other possibilities for calculating the IBW IBW = X x (height in cm ) X=50 (M) X =45 (F) Approximate IBW = Height -100 (M) or 110 (F)

14 Adjusted weight = IBW + correction factor X (TBW-IBW) Correction factor for hydrophilic drugs but a large variability Al-Dorzi H et al. Curr Opin Infect Dis 2014

15 Correction factors for aminoglycosides Bearden DT et al. Clin Pharmacokinet 2000;38:415-26

16 Lean body mass : LBM in M = 1.10 X total body weight x (TBW / height in cm) 2 in F= 1.07 X total body weight x (TBW / height in cm) 2 James WP. Research on obesity. London: Her Majesty s Stationery Office; in M = (9,270 X total body weight) / (6, X BMI) in F = (9,270 X total body weight) / (8, X BMI) Al-Dorzi H et al. Curr Opin Infect Dis 2014

17 The master word is Confusion Example : Male 180 cm / TBW = 150 kg IBW = x ( ) = 75 kg ABW = 75 + [0.5 x (150-75)] correction factor 0.5 = kg LBM = 1.10 X (150 / 180) 2 = 81.7 kg

28 In summary Difficult to achieve an optimal dosing One size does not fits all Therapeutic drug monitoring is extremely helpful (aminoglycosides, glycopeptides, (ideally colistin, penicillins, cephalosporins, carbapenems) Tissue monitoring impossible in routine practice pk data are not yet available for all drugs Very few data for antifungal agents except voriconazole
