PK, pharmacokinetic; CL, clearance of unbound cefazolin; Vc, central volume of distribution of cefazolin; Vm, volume of distribution of cefazolin in the intersitial fluid microdialysis compartment; Kct, rate of transfer from the unbound compartment to a tissue compartment; Ktc, rate of transfer from a tissue compartment to the unbound compartment; Kcp, rate of transfer from the unbound compartment to a peripheral compartment; Kpc, rate of transfer from a peripheral compartment to the unbound compartment; Kon, rate of association binding to albumin (second-order constant); Koff, rate of dissociation binding from albumin (first-order constant); Bmax, maximum binding amount of cefazolin; CV%, coefficient of variation; Shrink%, model shrinkage; NA, not applicable, calculated based on individual parameter estimates from the final model.
