Clinical and Translational Science · 10.1111/cts.13210

Structure

A one-compartment model, driven by weight and creatinine clearance.

Study population

General patients — Canada and North America. Fitted to 116 patients and 326 concentration observations.

Covariate As reported
Age 67.8 ± 11 yr
Weight 72 ± 8.6 kg
BMI 24.2 ± 3.1 kg/m²
SCr 1 ± 0.5 mg/dL

Reported as the source publication gives them — mean ± SD, or median with range or interquartile range.

Equations

The model's structural parameters as Chorus implements them.

CL = CrCl \cdot \frac{4.16}{84.0}
V_1 = 102.46 \cdot \frac{Weight}{70}

Implementation notes

General-population one-compartment model (normal-weight cohort). CL scales linearly with Cockcroft-Gault CrCl; V with total body weight.
