Dear Aceto81!

❝ ...I'm struggling with the time above the MIC90 and %time above MIC90.

❝ Prats et al. came up with a time of 102.5 hours and 94.9% of total time in SS.


Looking at you data, this seems to be a reasonable value.

❝ I have no idea about how to find the 102.5 hours.

❝ I searched in the forum's archive, in the manual of WinNonLin, on the web, but couldn't find any references.


It's not implemented in WinNonlin; but I'm right now at a conference in London where one of the lecturers is Jason Chittenden of Pharsight - I will ask him.

I don't know any reference either - except one by Jerome Skelly of the FDA, maybe 20 years ago. Start searching with the term "occupany time" or just "occupancy".

❝ Maybe someone can give me some help?

❝ I'm routinely use R, but now I'm also using WinNonLin.


If the values fall below the MIC and come up again (like in your case) do a linear interpolation. An algorithm is like this:I would use rather R than WinNonlin for that purpose, although it shouldn't be that difficult to set it up too.

I just made a unchecked hotel-room quickshot in R; 116.5 hr >0.517 ug/ml within 0 - 124 hr?!!
