Estimation of body surface area: nomogram vs. mathematical equations.
Body surface area (BSA) has been used in clinical practice to determine dosage of medication and in standardisation of biological parameters such as creatinine clearance, cardiac out put etc. BSA is estimated from measured height and weight, either with a nomogram or using a mathematical equation. There are many mathematical equations in the published literature but many are complex and may not...
متن کاملSurface area estimation: pocket calculator v nomogram.
Three sheets of 10 surface area determinations were completed by 10 subjects using a nomogram and a formula. The formula was faster to calculate, 4.27 v 7.6 minutes for each sheet, and resulted in fewer serious errors (three v 30 errors).

The purpose of this study was to determine thc body surface arca (BSA) based on the alginate method to derive fbrmulae for estirnating BSA, and to compare the error of the present fbnnula to prcvious forrnulas obtained from other countries, We directly measured thc entire body surfacc area of 34 males (20-60 years old, l58,5-187.5 cm in height, 48.5-103.1 kg in body weight) and 31 females (20-6...
متن کاملDetermination of body surface area and formulas to estimate body surface area using the alginate method.
The purpose of this study was to determine the body surface area (BSA) based on the alginate method, to derive formulae for estimating BSA, and to compare the error of the present formula to previous formulas obtained from other countries. We directly measured the entire body surface area of 34 males (20-60 years old, 158.5-187.5 cm in height, 48.5-103.1 kg in body weight) and 31 females (20-63...
متن کاملComparison of weight- vs body surface area-based growth hormone dosing for children: implications for response.
OBJECTIVE To compare weight (per kg)- vs body surface area (BSA, per m(2) )-based growth hormone (GH) dosing formats in children and to derive a useful conversion formula between the two formats. PATIENTS AND DESIGN Growth hormone doses (>33,000) from 1874 children were obtained from the national Australian database (OZGROW) and used to derive conversion formulae and to confirm the accuracy o...
