Parameter estimates of the nonlinear mixed effect model for change in creatinine clearance (CrCL).

DescriptionParameterUnitEstimates (RSE%)

Structural model estimates as reported in a previous meta-analysis (13)
Baseline CrCL mL/min97.83 (3.91)*
Maximum CrCL ā€”83.83 (12.48)*
Time of half-maximum CrCL weeks13.3 (37.59)*

CrCL: creatinine clearance; RSE: relative standard error. These values were fixed during estimation of the mixed effect model; that is, only random effects were estimated.
