EXTERNAL EVALUATION OF TACROLIMUS POPULATION PHARMACOKINETIC MODELS IN ADULT KIDNEY TRANSPLANT RECIPIENTS AT MILITARY HOSPITAL 103
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objectives: To screen and select an appropriate PopPK model in Vietnam kidney transplant recipients at Military Hospital 103. Methods: External evaluation was used to choose the proper model for our patients. The external dataset was obtained prospectively from 63 adult kidney transplant recipients treated at Military Hospital 103. All published tacrolimus PopPK models were systematically screened from PubMed and Scopus databases and were selected with covariate resemblance to our patient’s characteristics. Mean absolute prediction error (MAPE), mean prediction error (MPE), and goodness of fit plots were used to identify the appropriate model. Results: There were six models selected, among them, the model of Zhu et al. (2018) had a good predictive ability with MAPE = 29.89, MPE = -0.48. The GOF plot of this model also revealed similar results when the trend line between the predicted and observed tacrolimus concentrations was quite close to the standard curve (y = x). Conclusion: The Zhu’s model allowed good forecasting of tacrolimus trough concentrations in kidney transplant recipients at Military Hospital 103 and may support physicians in Tac dose adjustment along with clinical practice.
