Hi Ohlbe,

Okay.. So what if the dose given is 20mg? I mean we don't know the decimals right? The reason I ask is what if the concentration data shows high variability and you see values such as 0.0543, 1.1253, 20.3521? So you would go with 0.0543, 1.13, 20.4? But yet with the 90% CI rule the goal post is 80.00 - 125.00 and 2 decimal places needed to be reported (?)

❝ I would report the concentrations with 3 significant digits (or more probably 4, actually) but I would calculate AUC with non-rounded concentrations. You can put a note in the report explaining that the concentrations in the tables are rounded but that PK parameters were calculated with full precision to avoid questions from reviewers.


What would you do with Cmax if the individual values range from 10.xxx to 100.xxx?

Thanks
John

Far better an approximate answer to the right question,
which is often vague, than an exact answer to the wrong question,
which can always be made precise.    John W. Tukey
