Predictive Performance of the Winter–Tozer and Derivative Equations for Estimating Free Phenytoin Concentration

Abstract: <p><strong>ABSTRACT</strong></p><p><strong>Background:</strong> The Winter–Tozer equation for estimating free phenytoin concentration is biased and imprecise. Alternative predictive equations are available, but most remain unvalidated.</p><p><strong>Objectives:</strong> To assess the bias and precision of the Winter–Tozer equation and selected derivative equations in predicting free phenytoin concentration and to derive new equations with better… Show more

“…Two reports showed the original Winter‐Tozer equation overestimated and another showed it underestimated the measured free phenytoin concentration, leading to erroneous dosing changes in different patient populations. This was shown in the elderly nursing home population and in neurotrauma patients, in critically ill patients, and in critical care, general medicine, and neurology units . In the current study, all four equations were evaluated to see if these results would hold true at a large multisite academic medical center.…”

“…31 Others have assessed the precision and accuracy of the original Winter-Tozer equation and have produced derivative equations of their own. Two reports 20,22 showed the original Winter-Tozer equation overestimated and another 21 showed it underestimated the measured free phenytoin concentration, leading to erroneous dosing changes in different patient populations.…”
