  1. Final model:
  2. \({TVCL}_{LPV} = {CL}_{LPV}*\left(1+ {\theta }_{BW}*\frac{BW-70}{70}\right)\)
  3. ka first-order absorption rate constant, VLPV apparent volume of distribution of lopinavir, CLLPV apparent clearance of lopinavir, θBW bodyweight effect on CLLPV with reference bodyweight of 70 kg, σprop proportional residual error; σadd: additive residual error
  4. aRelative standard error (RSE) of the estimate defined as SE estimate/estimate, expressed as a percentage, with SE estimate retrieved directly from the NONMEM output file
  5. bBetween-subject variability
  6. c95% confidence interval
  7. *See Figure S2 for illustration of the CI95% estimated for ka after bootstrapping
