Dear NONMEM users,
I need to compute a recommended dose for a patient based on the last given dose and individual parameters obtained by NONMEM. Is there any easy way to have the last dose, theta, and eta parameters and use them on the finalization
step to compute recommendation ?
I can do it in the PK block by using current AMT. Then the output line with the last dose event will have correct answers. But in this case I need to compute PK block with every record, and the output table is messy: I can use only one line but have to output all the records for a patient.
I would prefer to compute it only once for each patient, and output with the FIRSTONLY option, but then I do not have the last dose value. Is there any way around ?
Thanks !
Leonid
