ABSTRACTThe performance of various lithium dose and serum concentration prediction methods in an inpatient setting was assessed using a retrospective chart review of 50 patients with bipolar affective disorder. Only three predictive methods could actually be applied in this setting. Regression of predicted versus actual dose and predicted versus observed serum concentration for Jermain et al's, Pepin et al's, and Zetin et al's methods yielded r values of 0.594, 0.255, and 0.654, respectively. The method of Zetin et al produced the most powerful prediction, least bias and greatest precision. This method is feasible in most settings for dose prediction.RÉSUMÉL'efficacité de diverses méthodes de prédiction de la dose et des concentrations plas...
