Final estimates of population pharmacokinetic parameters for amikacin and Bootstrap validation of the estimated population pharmacokinetic parameters in the final model

Parameter Final estimates Bootstrap mean ± SD Median [95% CI] Difference (%)
θ 1 (L/h) 2.41 2.54 ± 0.38 2.50 [1.97–3.31] 5.39
θ 2 (L) 10.70 10.20 ± 2.29 10.26 [5.99–14.69] −4.67
Intra-individual
 ω (CL) (%) 50.8 46.4 ± 36.8 44.7 [18.4–55.7] −8.66
 ω (V 1) (%) 29.0 37.0 ± 35.8 31.9 [27.2–65.6] 27.6
Intra-individual
 σ (μg/mL) 0.25 0.20 ± 0.09 0.23 [0.01–0.33] −20.0

Successful rate of calculation = 100% (200/200). Final model: CL (L/h) = θ 1(CCr/60.0), V1 (L) = θ 2(weight/49.5), V 2 (L) = 7.72, Q (L/h) = 7.0. Bootstrap validation of the estimated population pharmacokinetic parameters in the final model. The difference between the final model estimate and bootstrap mean is calculated as follows: [(bootstrap mean − final model estimate)/final model estimate] × 100

CCr creatinine clearance, CI confidence interval, CL total body clearance, Q inter-compartmental clearance, SD standard deviation, V 1 volume of distribution in the central compartment, V 2 volume of distribution in the peripheral compartment
