Using the ML-optimized dosing regimen, the probability of target attainment increased by 43.7% relative to the PopPK model-optimized dosing regimens.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Machine learning models were developed with great predictive performance, which can be used to determine the individualized initial dose of isoniazid in adult patients.</p>","PeriodicalId":10405,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Pharmacokinetics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141579142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
