Journal of Clinical Pharmacy and Therapeutics · 10.1111/j.1365-2710.2006.00762.x

Structure

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

Study population

Critically ill patients — Spain and Europe. Fitted to 50 patients and 337 concentration observations.

Covariate As reported
Age 60 (18–81) yr
Weight 60.61 ± 15.55 kg
CrCl 76.28 ± 31.37 mL/min

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