a

RSE, relative standard error; TFV, tenofovir (plasma concentrations); TFV-DP, tenofovir diphosphate (intracellular concentrations); FTC, emtricitabine (plasma concentrations); FTC-TP, emtricitabine triphosphate (intracellular concentrations); Tlag, time delay in absorption; Ka, absorption rate constant; CL/F, apparent elimination clearance; Vc/F, apparent central compartment of distribution; Q/F, apparent intercompartmental clearance; Vp/F, apparent peripheral compartment of distribution; Vmax, maximal uptake rate constant; Km, Michaelis-Menten constant; kem, elimination rate constant from the cell; βPK parameter, covariate, additive effect size of covariate on log PK parameter with a βCL/FTFV,age of −0.017 indicating CL/FTFV decreases of 15 and 39% in patients 10 and 30 years older than the median age (38.5 years), a βVp/FTFV,age of −0.029 indicating Vp/FTFV decreases of 25 and 58%, and a βCL/FFTC,age of −0.010 indicating CL/FFTC decreases of 10 and 26%; NE: not estimated due to numerical issue.
