Journal of Critical Care · 10.1016/j.jcrc.2019.10.012

Structure

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

Study population

Critically ill patients — Europe. Fitted to 73 patients and 146 concentration observations.

Covariate As reported
Age 56.9 ± 17 yr
Weight 78.2 ± 14.2 kg
BMI 25.7 ± 4.14 kg/m²
CrCl 80 ± 44 mL/min
SCr 1.23 ± 0.82 mg/dL

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

Equations
