TMP, trimethoprim; PK, pharmacokinetic; RSE, relative standard error; Ka, population absorption rate constant; CL/F70 kg, apparent population clearance estimate scaled to a 70-kg adult; V/F70 kg, apparent population volume of distribution estimate scaled to a 70-kg adult; TM50, maturation half-life calculated as a function of postnatal age (in years); Hill, Hill coefficient in the Emax maturation function; SCR, serum creatinine concentration; IIV(CL/F), interindividual variability in drug clearance; IIV(V/F), interindividual variability in the volume of distribution; CV, coefficient of variation.
Altogether, 39 runs with minimization terminated were skipped when the bootstrap results were calculated; 249 runs with estimates near a boundary were skipped when the bootstrap results were calculated.
