Proposal for a Pharmacogenetic Decision Algorithm
Personalized medicine is playing an ever-increasing role in patient care. Over the past decade, awareness of the role of pharmacogenetics and its benefits is leading to its growing acceptance among providers. Though providers are using pharmacogenetics in practice, the decision-making process of when to use this tool can be ambiguous. Herein, we propose an algorithm to help guide providers on w...
متن کاملA pharmacogenetic versus a clinical algorithm for warfarin dosing.
BACKGROUND The clinical utility of genotype-guided (pharmacogenetically based) dosing of warfarin has been tested only in small clinical trials or observational studies, with equivocal results. METHODS We randomly assigned 1015 patients to receive doses of warfarin during the first 5 days of therapy that were determined according to a dosing algorithm that included both clinical variables and...
متن کاملA proposal for an individualized pharmacogenetic-guided isoniazid dosage regimen for patients with tuberculosis
BACKGROUND/AIM Isoniazid (INH) is an essential component of first-line anti-tuberculosis (TB) treatment. However, treatment with INH is complicated by polymorphisms in the expression of the enzyme system primarily responsible for its elimination, N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2), and its associated hepatotoxicity. The objective of this study was to develop an individualized INH dosing regimen using...
متن کاملTemporal Decision Trees: A Proposal
Decision trees are useful tools for classification and prediction purposes, and have been applied mostly to data that is void of any explicit notion of time. This covers many application areas where the data is about populations of the same entities, but is not suitable for cases where there is a temporal relation among the data. One case is when we are gathering data about a single system over...
متن کاملTherapeutic Dosing of Acenocoumarol: Proposal of a Population Specific Pharmacogenetic Dosing Algorithm and Its Validation in North Indians
OBJECTIVES To develop a population specific pharmacogenetic acenocoumarol dosing algorithm for north Indian patients and show its efficiency in dosage prediction. METHODS Multiple and linear stepwise regression analyses were used to include age, sex, height, weight, body surface area, smoking status, VKORC1 -1639 G>A, CYP4F2 1347 G>A, CYP2C9*2,*3 and GGCX 12970 C>G polymorphisms as variables ...
