Variable estimates from the final pentobarbital population pharmacokinetic model.

Variable Estimate SE%
CL (L/hr) 0.52 8.4
V1(L) 3.10 7.6
Q (L/hr) 9.64 5.2
V2 (L) 6.75 4.8
Age effect CL 0.23 50.0
TBYP effect CL 0.0039 4641.0
TBYP effect V1 −0.04 404.5
Single-Ventricle effect CL 0.85 8.1

Variable Inter-Individual Variability SE%

ω2V2 32.7 46.1

Variable Covariance SE%

CovCL, V1 0.01 367.6

CovCL, V2 0.04 98.6

CovV1, V2 0.01 363.4

Residual Variability Variance SE%

σ2proportional 0.01 100

SE% = (standard error/parameter estimate) *100

Inter-individual variability = (square-root of variance) *100

For age less than 12 months:

CL = θCL* (WT/6.9)0.75*(AGE/5.2)0.23* (TBYP/60)0.0039* [0.85(for single-ventricle only)]

For age greater than 12 months:

CL = θCL* (WT/6.9)0.75* (TBYP/60)0.0039* [0.85(for single-ventricle only)]

For all ages:

V1 = θV1 * (WT/6.9)1* (TBYP/60)−0.04

Q = θQ* (WT/6.9)0.75

V2 = θV2* (WT/6.9)1
