doseRange {dfped} | R Documentation |
Dose-range for the paediatric population according to adult clearance, adult doses and paediatric clearance.
Description
This function gives the dose-range for paediatrics, given the adult apparent clearance, the paediatric apparent clearance (known or estimated) and the adult doses. The paediatric apparent clearance can be estimated using the maturation adjustment (through the function Clch.Mat
), allometric adjustment (through the function Clch.Allo
) or linear adjustment (through the function Clch.Linear
).
Usage
doseRange(Clch, Clad, doseAd)
Arguments
Clch |
The paediatric apparent clearance which can be calculated using the maturation ( |
Clad |
The clearance of adult. |
doseAd |
The dose which is given to adult. |
