ESC, effect site compartment; Pla., plasma (central) compartment; Cauc., Caucasian.

All studies used the Marsh Diprifusor TCI software v 2.0 except Puri (Marsh TCI Diprifusor of unspecified version) and Natarajan (non-TCI pump). EC values in italics mean they are adapted from the literature. The bottom 3 rows present results from studies that were not used to create the proposed model.
