説明
<jats:p>Our objective was to develop a population pharmacokinetic (PK) model in order to evaluate the currently recommended dosing regimen in term and preterm neonates. By using an optimal design approach, a prospective PK study was designed and implemented in 60 neonates with postmenstrual ages (PMA) of 26 to 43 weeks. A loading dose of 16 mg/kg was administered at day 1, followed by a maintenance dose of 8 mg/kg daily. Plasma concentrations were quantified by high-pressure liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry.</jats:p>
