Outline Principles of PKPD in microbiology and infectious diseases Introduction to nonlinear mixed effects modelling Scaling pharmacokinetics between adults and children
Mathematical model mathematical model n. a description or representation of something conceived or presented in mathematical terms. (OED) Population modelling with nonlinear mixed effects is recommended

Variability
Possible modelling approaches Naïve Pooled Two-stage Non-linear mixed effects
Nonlinear mixed effects modelling Fixed effects, population typical values (e.g.: CLpop, VDpop, Kapop) Random effects Inter and intraindividual variability Residual variability
NONMEM NON linear Mixed Effects Modelling Structural model e.g. Error model Describes difference between observation and model prediction Mixed effects: Fixed effects (structure) and Random effects (error)
All models are wrong, some are useful

“Children are not small adults” Kearns 2003 VS. “Children are small adults” Tod 2008 and adults?
“Children are small adults” CL often better correlated with BSA than wt (Cawford 1950) BMR correlated with wt0.75 (Kleiber 1947)
