| Sumario: | Population pharmacokinetic (popPK) approaches have spread widely throughout clinical pharmacology research, and every clinician should have some understanding of them. After a general introduction on the fundamentals and fields of application of these approaches, this review focuses on parametric popPK methods to provide the clinicians with the conceptual tools to interpret appropriately the results of parametric popPK analyses and to understand their clinical utility. The emphasis is put on the clinical questions that popPK methods are best suited to address. The basic principles of the methodology are introduced first, and then the main algorithms and reference software programs used in such analyses are presented. The description of data analysis and clinical applications of the parametric popPK approach (ie, use in simulations and therapeutic drug monitoring) are illustrated with the example of the antiretroviral drug efavirenz. |
