  1. a The prediction error percents (PE%) were computed for each concentration value using the equation below and the absolute prediction error percents (|PE|%) was computed as the absolute value of the PE%. PE% ij = (DV ij - PRED ij )/PRED ij * 100, where, PE% ij is the percent prediction error between the i th value of the dependent variable in the j th subject; and the population prediction of the i th observation in the j th subject; DV ij is the value of the i th observation (i.e. the dependent variable) in the j th subject; and PREDij is the population prediction of the i th observation in the j th subject.
  2. bN refers to the number of pharmacokinetic samples used in the calculation of the PE% and |PE|% statistics. The 5382 pharmacokinetic samples were derived from 211 patients.
