    BackgroundThe aim of this study is to derive a propofol pharmacokinetic (PK) pharmacodynamic (PD) model to perform effect-site target-controlled infusion (TCI) in obese patients, and to analyze its performance along with that of other available PK models.MethodsIn the first step of the study, a 3-compartment PK model linked to a sigmoidal inhibitory Emax PD model by a first-order rate constant (keo) was used to fit propofol concentration-bispectral index (BIS) data. Population modeling analysis was performed by nonlinear mixed effects regression in NONMEM (ICON, Dublin, Ireland). PK data from 3 previous studies in obese adult patients (n = 47), including PD (BIS) data from 1 of these studies (n = 20), were pooled and simultaneously analyzed. A decrease in NONMEM objective function (ΔOBJ) of 3.84 points, for an added parameter, was considered significant at the 0.05 level. In the second step of the study, we analyzed the predictive performance (median predictive errors [MDPE] and median absolute predictive errors [MDAPE]) of the current model and of other available models using an independent data set (n = 14).ResultsStep 1: The selected PKPD model produced an adequate fit of the data. Total body weight resulted in the best size scalar for volumes and clearances (ΔOBJ, -18.173). Empirical allometric total body weight relationships did not improve model fit (ΔOBJ, 0.309). A lag time parameter for BIS response improved the fit (ΔOBJ, 89.593). No effect of age or gender was observed. Step 2: Current model MDPE and MDAPE were 11.5% (3.7-25.0) and 26.8% (20.7-32.6) in the PK part and 0.4% (-10.39 to 3.85) and 11.9% (20.7-32.6) in the PD part. The PK model developed by Eleveld et al resulted in the lowest PK predictive errors (MDPE = <10% and MDAPE = <25%).ConclusionsWe derived and validated a propofol PKPD model to perform effect-site TCI in obese patients. This model, derived exclusively from obese patient's data, is not recommended for TCI in lean patients because it carries the risk of underdosing.
