Population pharmacokinetics of 25-hydroxy vitamin D in children with asthma .
OBJECTIVES: Asthma and vitamin D deficiency are widespread in the pediatric and adolescent population. The aim of this study was to develop a population pharmacokinetic (PPK) model and to evaluate the most important factors that can significantly affect clearance of 25-hydroxy vitamin D in asthmatic children using PPK analysis.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study population included school children and adolescents from 7 to 18 years of age of both sexes. PPK analysis was performed by non-linear mixed-effects modeling (NONMEM), and 19 covariates were assessed. Goodness-of-fit plots, validation set and bootstrap analysis were conducted to confirm predictive performance of the final model.
RESULTS: A total of 60 patients were included in the basic NONMEM data set for PPK modeling with a mean age of 10.2 years and body weight of 41.3 kg. The final pharmacokinetic model for the clearance of 25-hydroxy vitamin D included as covariates intake of vitamin D from foods (DD), hereditary predisposition to asthma (HPA) and the ratio of forced expiratory volume in first second and forced vital capacity (FEV<sub>1</sub>/FVC ratio). A validation set consisted of 14 separate patients with similar characteristics to the basic data set. The final model was confirmed by internal and external validation and also through goodness-of-fit plots.
CONCLUSION: These results could be of help for individualization of vitamin D supplementation doses in this vulnerable population. .
