A microcomputer program is presented which analyses multiple-dose pharmacokinetic curves using either a least-squares nonlinear analysis or a bayesian fit. The least-squares subroutine is designed to fit retrospective pharmacokinetic curves and can generate the so-called population pharmacokinetic parameters using the Standard Two-Stage method. The bayesian subroutine can instead be used prospectively to individualise the dosage regimen of a patient based on the concentrations measured in the initial phases of the drug treatment. All the pharmacokinetic subroutines of the program use the one-compartment model with either constant-rate intravenous infusion or oral route with zero-order absorption. The program was tested in a series of ten bone marrow transplantation patients treated with cyclosporine. The least-squares estimates of the one-compartment parameters, calculated by the program, were compared with those generated by the SIMKIN program.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008838 Microcomputers Small computers using LSI (large-scale integration) microprocessor chips as the CPU (central processing unit) and semiconductor memories for compact, inexpensive storage of program instructions and data. They are smaller and less expensive than minicomputers and are usually built into a dedicated system where they are optimized for a particular application. "Microprocessor" may refer to just the CPU or the entire microcomputer. Computers, Personal,Microprocessors,Computer, Personal,Microcomputer,Microprocessor,Personal Computer,Personal Computers

D001499 Bayes Theorem A theorem in probability theory named for Thomas Bayes (1702-1761). In epidemiology, it is used to obtain the probability of disease in a group of people with some characteristic on the basis of the overall rate of that disease and of the likelihood of that characteristic in healthy and diseased individuals. The most familiar application is in clinical decision analysis where it is used for estimating the probability of a particular diagnosis given the appearance of some symptoms or test result.
