Multiple Regression Analysis for the Effects of BMI, Sex, and LAR Dose Level (Excluding 7 Subjects on 1 20-mg/mo LAR Dose) on the Natural Log-Transformed Plasma Octreotide Level

Parameter Parameter Estimate P
BMI −0.03 0.0299
Sex 0.39 0.0451
Monthly LAR dose 0.03 <0.0001

The parameter for a continuous variable (such as BMI or monthly LAR dose) represents the mean change in the natural log-transformed plasma octreotide level per unit increase of the variable. The parameter for sex is the mean difference between females (sex = 1) andmales (sex = 0) in the natural log-transformed plasma octreotide level.
