CM, concomitant medication; V, volume of distribution; Δ-2LL, objective function value (OFV) from covariate model minus base model; -2LL values in 2-1 and 2-2 were compared with base model; -2LL values of M13 and M14 in 3-1 were compared with model M1; whereas values of Model 15 to Model 24 in 3-1 and 3-2 were compared with 3-1 M14; values in 3-3 was compared with 3-2 M25. The incorporation of covariates is described in Subjects and methods.
