摘要: Background: We hypothesize that urine levels might be reliable to assess the therapeutic range of caffeine. Objectives: correlated plasma and urinary caffeine in preterm infants treated with this drug for apnea prematurity. Methods: Infants (n=56) were given a loading dose citrate (10 mg/kg, per os) 24 h later maintenance (2 os, once day). Plasma determined after (before administration dose) then weekly. Results: correlate at all examined ages: '29 weeks (r=0.92, P<0.001), 30 (r=0.97, 31 (r=0.82, 32 33 (r=0.87, 34 (r=0.81, P<0.001). Conclusion: Urinary useful means ranges.
