Popis: the slope of the regression line between corrected AUC0 24 and ABW was 0.0271. Conclusions: This study reveals that AUC0 24 acts independently of body weight, as our simulations were able to achieve the same AUC0 24 for each patient regardless weight. This is not the case for V, which demonstrated a positive relationship with weight. Unlike dosing based on V, AUC0 24 based dosing would eliminate the need to stratify patients based on weight as well as the need to choose an appropriate correction factor.
