Table 8 Monte-Carlo simulation predicted the probability of target attainment (PTA) for treatment based on total and unbound AUC/MIC ratios of 200 and 1.3, respectively . Simulation was for albumin = 20 g/L and BMI = 24 kg/m²

From: Population pharmacokinetics of total and unbound concentrations of intravenous posaconazole in adult critically ill patients

Dosing regimen	PTA ≥ 80% for AUC/MIC of 200 by MIC (mg/L)					PTA ≥ 80% for fAUC/MIC of 1.3 by MIC (mg/L)
