Included and evaluated but rejected parameter–covariate relationships

Included parameter–covariate relationships
Relationship ΔOFV ΔBOV
Fed/fasted dosing on MTT −90.4 −29.2%
TB treatment on F −65.4 −3.8%
TB treatment with BSV on F −84.6 −9.8%
Evaluated but not included parameter–covariate relationships
Parameter Covariates
CL age, sex, CD4 count, day/night, TB treatment, AL treatment, WHO-stage
V age, sex, CD4 count
MTT TB treatment, AL treatment, day/night
F AL treatment, fed/fasted dosing

Included relationships are listed together with the drop in OFV and the change in between occasion variability when comparing the final model with a model without the specified relationship. Abbreviations: AL, artemether/lumefantrine; ΔBOV, difference in between subject variability; BSV, between subject variability; CL, clearance; F, bioavailability, MTT, mean transit time; ΔOFV, difference in objective function value; TB, tuberculosis; V, volume of distribution.
