PI95%; 95% percentile interval; CL/F, apparent clearance of DAB; CLm/F, apparent clearance of OHD; IIV, interindividual variability defined as coefficient of variation (%); IOV, inter-occasion variability on CL/F defined as coefficient of variation (%); ka, first-order absorption rate constant; Q/F, inter-compartment clearance of DAB; Qm/F, inter-compartment clearance of OHD; RSE, relative standard error defined as SE/estimate, with SE directly retrieved from NONMEM; RUV, residual unexplained variability; RUVcorr, correlation between the proportional error components; Tlag, lag time, V2/F, apparent central volume of distribution of DAB; V3/F, apparent central volume of distribution of OHD; V4/F, apparent peripheral volume of distribution of DAB; V5/F, apparent peripheral volume of distribution of OHD; θage/(CL/F), Age effect on CL/F; θage/(CLm/F), Age effect on CLm/F; θsex/(CL/F), Sex effect on CL/F. Final model equations for individual CL/F and CLm/F: CL_ind/F = CL/F × (1 + θage/(CL/F) × (AGE-MAGE)/MAGE) × (θsex/(CL/F)Sex) × exp(IIVCL/F_ind). CLm_ind/F = CLm/F × (1 + θage/(CLm/F) × (AGE-MAGE)/MAGE) × exp(IIVCLm/F_ind). with MAGE = 61.2 years, median AGE value in the study population; Sex being 0/1 for man/woman, and the rest as previously defined.
