This vignette validates the packaged `Llanos-Paez_2020_gentamicin` model
against the simulated exposure table reported in the source paper
(Llanos-Paez 2020 Table 3). The validation strategy:

1. Build a virtual pediatric cohort whose covariate distributions match
   Table 1 (oncology and nononcology arms separately).
2. Simulate gentamicin exposure under the paper's reference 7.5 mg/kg
   q24h dosing.
3. Compute Cmax (0.5 h after end of infusion) and AUC0-24 with PKNCA.
4. Compare side-by-side against Table 3.

# Population

The pooled analysis combined a 423-patient pediatric oncology cohort
(Llanos-Paez 2017; 2,422 gentamicin concentrations, predominantly leukemia
[45%] and blastomas [13%]) with a 115-patient pediatric nononcology cohort
(487 concentrations; appendicitis [12.2%], kidney disease / urinary tract
infection [10.4%], multifactorial others). Patients were admitted to the
Children's Hospital of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia between 2008 and
2013. Pooled mean (SD) demographics: total body weight 24.6 (17.5) kg,
fat-free mass 18.8 (12.4) kg, postnatal age 6.19 (4.65) years,
postmenstrual age 361.9 (241.8) weeks, serum creatinine
38.9 (36.1) umol/L. Sex was 54.1% male overall (52.0% in oncology, 62.6% in
nononcology). 23% of patients were younger than 2 years, 51.9% were 2-10
years old, and 25.1% were older than 10 years. Demographics from
Llanos-Paez 2020 Table 1.

# Virtual cohort

The original observed dataset is not publicly available. The cohort below
mirrors the Table 1 demographics for the oncology and nononcology arms
separately. To keep within the pkgdown five-minute render budget the
cohort is sized at 200 simulated subjects per arm (vs the paper's 1,000 at
each dose level).

For the Ceriotti reference SCR (`CREAT_REF`), the vignette uses a simple
piecewise age-banded approximation based on the published age-decade
medians; for typical-value validation the individual SCR (`CREAT`) is set
equal to `CREAT_REF` so the renal-function ratio collapses to 1, isolating
the size + maturation contributions.

## Comparison against Table 3 (7.5 mg/kg, all-ages totals)

Table 3 of Llanos-Paez 2020 reports median Cmax and AUC0-24 from a
1,000-subject Monte Carlo simulation per cohort at 7.5 mg/kg. The
side-by-side table below is computed from the same `n = 200` simulated
subjects per cohort used above.

```

The simulated medians and 5-95% intervals overlap the paper's published
medians and 95% prediction intervals. Differences are within the expected
margin given the smaller simulated cohort (n = 200 per arm vs n = 1,000)
and the diagonal-omega simplification noted in Assumptions and
deviations.

# Assumptions and deviations

- **Cohort-stratified BSV not encoded.** Table 2 reports separate BSV
  CV(%) on V1 (23.8% oncology vs 26.0% nononcology) and Q (29.4%
  oncology vs 59.8% nononcology). nlmixr2's `eta` variance is a
  population-level scalar and cannot be stratified by a covariate
  without splitting the model file. This implementation uses single
  `eta` variances calibrated to the larger oncology cohort (n = 423);
  the nononcology BSV ribbon is therefore tighter than the paper's
  fitted variability around Q. Stochastic VPCs in the nononcology arm
  may consequently appear narrower than the paper's Figure 2.
- **Off-diagonal omega not encoded.** The paper extended the variance-
  covariance matrix to a "full" form (delta-OFV = -25.3) but the
  publication only reports per-parameter BSV CV(%). The off-diagonal
  correlations are not numerically reproducible from the published
  values and the omega here is diagonal. The upstream Llanos-Paez 2017
  model reported a CL <-> V1 correlation of 93.6%, which is not carried
  over here because the 2022 covariance structure is broader (CL,
  V1_oncology, V1_nononcology, Q_oncology, Q_nononcology, V2 all
  correlated) and the specific entries are not published.
- **Between-occasion variability (BOV) not encoded.** Table 2 reports
  BOV CV(%) of 20.7 on CL. nlmixr2 model files are static templates
  and do not natively express occasion-stratified random effects;
  re-fitters can extend the model with an `OCC` covariate.
- **Ceriotti SCR reference simplified.** The paper used Ceriotti 2008
  age- and sex-banded physiological mean creatinine values to
  populate `SCR_mean` (canonical `CREAT_REF`) for both the renal-
  function ratio and the LLOQ replacement step. This vignette uses an
  approximate piecewise age-band lookup (`ceriotti_scr_ref`) for the
  virtual cohort; it is sufficient for the typical-value validation
  but a production simulation should populate `CREAT_REF` from the
  Ceriotti table directly using each subject's age and sex.
- **Sex distribution not modeled.** The paper does not stratify CL or
  any other parameter by sex; `SEXF` is therefore omitted from the
  covariate list. The simulated cohort assumes the Table 1 sex
  balance (54% male) but the model is sex-agnostic.
- **Race / ethnicity not reported.** The Llanos-Paez 2020 cohort is
  drawn from a single Australian children's hospital and the
  publication does not break down race / ethnicity. No race effects
  are encoded.
- **Pediatric oncology indicator (`DIS_CANCER_PED`) is a new canonical.**
  The covariate-columns register entry was created with this
  extraction; reference category is the paper-defined nononcology
  pediatric admission cohort. Distinct from the existing `DIS_CANCER`
  canonical, which is restricted to adult advanced/metastatic solid
  tumors.
- **Reference SCR covariate (`CREAT_REF`) is a new canonical.** Added
  alongside this extraction with scope "specific" because the choice
  of normative reference (Ceriotti vs Schwartz vs locally-derived) is
  paper-tied. Pairs with the existing general-scope `CREAT` canonical
  via the ratio `(CREAT_REF / CREAT)^0.58` on CL.
