Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To analyze the influencing factors for the metabolism of voriconazole in adult patients， and to provide reference for the rational use of voriconazole in clinic. METHODS The clinical data of adult patients admitted in our hospital receiving voriconazole and therapeutic drug monitoring from April 2021 to March 2022 were collected. The trough concentration of voriconazole （c0） and plasma concentration of voriconazole-N-oxide concentration （cN） were determined， and voriconazole-to-voriconazole N-oxide concentration ratio （c0/cN） was calculated. Pearson’s correlation analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors for c0 and c0/cN of voriconazole. Multiple linear regression models were used to analyze the independent influencing factors for c0 and c0/cN of voriconazole. RESULTS The underlying diseases of the patients were mainly pneumonia， kidney disease and leukemia. The detected fungi were mainly Aspergillus， Candida and yeast-like fungi. Voriconazole was mainly administered by intravenous drip， especially in patients who used proton pump inhibitor in combination. The levels of C-reactive protein （CRP）， total bilirubin （TBIL）， direct bilirubin （DBIL） and indirect bilirubin （IBIL） were positively correlated with c0 of voriconazole， while platelet count and albumin levels were negatively correlated with voriconazole c0. The levels of CRP， TBIL and DBIL were positively correlated with c0/cN， while albumin levels were negatively correlated with c0/cN. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the independent influencing factors of voriconazole c0 included the levels of CRP and IBIL， route of administration and dose of voriconazole， and the independent influencing factors of voriconazole c0/cN were the levels of CRP and DBIL and age. CONCLUSIONS The levels of CRP and IBIL， route of administration and dose of voriconazole are independent influencing factors of voriconazole c0； the levels of CRP and DBIL and age are independent influencing factors of voriconazole c0/cN. The influence of above indexes on the metabolism of voriconazole should be considered when using voriconazole clinically； and the route of administration and dose of voriconazole should be adjusted reasonably.
