Abstract
Drug actions depend on dose and intervals between doses, in ways that are drug-specific and sometimes complex, complicating the use of drug dosing histories as an explanatory variable in the analysis of clinica l trials. We describe a spread-sheet method for conveniently displayin g patients' drug dosing histories, to facilitate identification of dos ing correlates of clinically important events.
