Abstract
- Describing glomerular filtration rate (GFR) maturation across the heterogeneous population of preterm and term neonates and infants is important to predict the clearance of renally cleared drugs. This study aims to describe the GFR maturation in (pre)term neonates and young infants (PNA < 90 days) using individual inulin clearance data (CL <subscript>inulin</subscript> ). To this end, published GFR maturation models were evaluated by comparing their predicted GFR with CL <subscript>inulin</subscript> retrieved from literature. The best model was subsequently optimized in NONMEM V7.4.3 to better fit the CL <subscript>inulin</subscript> values. Our study evaluated seven models and collected 381 individual CL <subscript>inulin</subscript> values from 333 subjects with median (range) birthweight (BWb) 1880 g (580-4950), gestational age (GA) 34 weeks (25-43), current weight (CW) 1890 g (480-6200), postnatal age (PNA) 3 days (0-75), and CL <subscript>inulin</subscript> 2.20 ml/min (0.43-17.90). The De Cock 2014 model (covariates: BWb and PNA) performed the best in predicting CL <subscript>inulin</subscript> , followed by the Rhodin 2009 model (covariates: CW and postmenstrual age). The final optimized model shows that GFR at birth is determined by BWb, thereafter the maturation rate of GFR is dependent on PNA and GA, with a higher GA showing an overall faster maturation. To conclude, using individual CL <subscript>inulin</subscript> data, we found that a model for neonatal GFR requires a distinction between prenatal maturation quantified by BWb and postnatal maturation. To capture postnatal GFR maturation in (pre)term neonates and young infants, we developed an optimized model in which PNA-related maturation was dependent on GA.<br /> (© 2022. The Author(s).)
