The two-compartment open model was found to significantly better describe gentamicin pharmacokinetics in the neonate. More than PNA or GA, creatinine clearance (CLCR) plays an important role in the elimination of gentamicin in premature newborns. Creatinine clearance is also related to GA. The appropriate dosing regimens given in accordance with the characteristics of the patients are 5 mg/kg/48 h and 4 mg/kg/24 or 36 h for neonates<32 weeks and >or=32 weeks of GA, respectively.
