Regression models which describe relationships between AmB pharmacokinetic parameters and influential patient covariates.
Regression model | Regression coefficients (θ) mean (s.d.) | F-test | Significance |
---|---|---|---|
CL (l h−1) = θ1 + θ2 WT0.75 + θ3 DF | θ1: 0.053 | 44.5 | P < 0.005 |
θ2: 0.046 (0.006) | |||
θ3: 0.242 (0.040) | |||
V (l) = θ4 + θ5 WT | θ4: 7.106 | 6.3 | P < 0.025 |
θ5: 0.107 (0.043) |
WT=weight (kg), WT0.75=weight0.75 (kg), DF=method of AmB administration: dextrose infusion was coded 1 and lipid emulsion infusion was coded 2.
θ=regression coefficient, s.d.=standard deviation.
