The objectives of this study were to evaluate the population pharmacokinetics of prophylactic cefazolin (CFZ) from its serum and hip joint capsule concentrations in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty, and to establish pharmacodynamic target concentration exceeding the MIC for designing an effective dosing regimen for serum and the hip joint capsule. We analyzed 249 serum samples and 125 hip joint capsule samples from 125 individuals using a nonlinear mixed-effects model. The pharmacodynamic index target value obtained from our results indicates the probability of maintaining CFZ trough and hip joint capsule concentrations exceeding the MIC of 1 mg/L, to account for methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA). We estimated the population pharmacokinetics using a two-compartment model. The estimated population pharmacokinetic parameters were as follows: CL (L/h) = 1.46 x (CLcr (mL/min)/77)0.891, Vc (L) = 7.5, Q (L/h ) = 3.38, and VJC (L) = 36.1. The probability of achieving concentrations exceeding the MIC90 for MSSA was approximately 100% for serum and 100% for the hip joint capsule at 3 h after the initial dose. Our findings suggest that population-based parameters are useful for evaluating CFZ pharmacokinetics and that individual dosages should be determined based on the dosage regimen that achieves and maintains adequate tissue CFZ concentration.
