Table 3.

Summary of safety and economic evaluations of different weight metrics used in a Q48 h regimen across BMI subgroups, assuming a baseline factor level of 0.5 IU dL−1. Dose is the dose required to have 95% of patients with a steady state Cmin over 1 IU dL−1. Optimal regimens for each subgroup and the overall population are bolded. IBW: ideal body weight, ABW: adjusted body weight.
