Popis: A high inter-individual variability in pharmacokinetic parameters in obese patients is observed. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of obesity parameters on the pharmacokinetics of cefoxitin administered for antibiotic prophylaxis during bariatric surgery. This a secondary analysis of a pharmacokinetic study involving 174 obese patients scheduled for bariatric surgery and receiving a 4-g dose of cefoxitin. Blood samples were collected at incision and wound closure. The total plasma concentrations were assessed utilising a validated high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry method. The pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic target was defined as an estimated free concentration of cefoxitin at the time of wound closure >8 mg/L. Specific evaluated obesity parameters were fat body mass, fat body mass/height2, lean body mass, lean body mass/height2, visceral adipose tissue and presence of a metabolic syndrome. A total of 174 patients (median age 47 years) with a majority of women (75.3%) and a median BMI of 44 kg/m2 were analysed. The percentage of patients who met the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic target was 85.1%. In the whole population, a tendency to fail to reach the target was observed with a higher lean mass over height2 [OR = 0.79; 95% CI (0.62–1.01); P = 0.060]. In the female subgroup, higher lean mass over height2 [OR = 0.63; 95% CI (0.41–0.97); P = 0.037] and the presence of a metabolic syndrome [OR = 0.17; 95% CI (0.03–0.83); P = 0.030] were associated with failure to reach the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic target. Obese patients with a higher lean mass and a metabolic syndrome could constitute a subgroup at risk for cefoxitin under-dosage.
