A population pharmacokinetic model of ciprofloxacin was developed based on pooled data from three intensive care unit data sets, containing in total 140 intensive care unit patients and 1094 concentration–time samples.
Despite the large amount of data, only bodyweight and renal function were associated with pharmacokinetic parameters of ciprofloxacin still leaving much inter-individual variability unexplained by commonly deployed covariates.
A simple dose strategy of ciprofloxacin suitable for all intensive care unit patients remains challenging and dose individualization may be needed.
