Correlation coefficient versus prediction error in assessing the accuracy of digoxin dosing methods.

R L Lalonde, D Pao

    Clinical Pharmacy
    |March 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Predicting serum digoxin concentrations (SDCs) using 18 methods showed varying accuracy. The Dobbs and Koda-Kimble methods offered the best balance of bias and precision but do not replace SDC monitoring.

    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacokinetics
    • Clinical Chemistry

    Background:

    • Accurate prediction of serum digoxin concentrations (SDCs) is crucial for therapeutic drug monitoring.
    • Existing predictive models vary in their clinical utility and accuracy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the predictive accuracy of 18 different methods for serum digoxin concentrations (SDCs).
    • To compare the bias and precision of various predictive models using clinical data.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of data from 50 hospital patients with documented steady-state SDCs.
    • Collected patient data included age, weight, body surface area, creatinine clearance, and digoxin dose.
    • Calculated correlation coefficients (r), mean error (ME), and root mean squared error (RMSE) for each predictive method.

    Main Results:

    • Correlation coefficients (r) ranged from 0.389 to 0.536, indicating significant predictive ability for all methods.
    • The Dobbs and Koda-Kimble (modified) methods demonstrated the best combination of minimal bias and maximal precision.
    • Creatinine clearance normalization did not significantly impact predictive performance.

    Conclusions:

    • The Dobbs and Koda-Kimble methods show promising predictive capabilities for SDCs.
    • Despite good predictive performance, these methods should complement, not replace, routine SDC monitoring.
    • Future studies should incorporate ME and RMSE alongside correlation coefficients for comprehensive performance evaluation.
