Indexing of renal function parameters by body surface area: intelligence or folly?
Indexation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) by body surface area (BSA) is often done without raising any questions. In this article, we will shortly review the limitations of such indexation and illustrate potential errors in clinical practice due to this indexation. Adjusting the GFR by BSA is particularly misleading in patients with abnormal body size (obese and anorectic). We will also in...
متن کاملIndexing aortic valve area by body surface area increases the prevalence of severe aortic stenosis.
BACKGROUND To account for differences in body size in patients with aortic stenosis, aortic valve area (AVA) is divided by body surface area (BSA) to calculate indexed AVA (AVAindex). Cut-off values for severe stenosis are <1.0 cm2 for AVA and <0.6 cm2/m2 for AVAindex. OBJECTIVE To investigate the influence of indexation on the prevalence of severe aortic stenosis and on the predictive accura...
متن کاملErrors induced by indexing glomerular filtration rate for body surface area: reductio ad absurdum.
In this article, we will discuss an important but underrecognized topic in nephrology. Indeed, indexing glomerular filtration rate (GFR) for body surface area (BSA) is often done by habit, because everyone does it and without raising any questions. Only a scant literature on this topic has been published in recent decades. Regarding guidelines on estimating and measuring GFR, only the Australia...

Faldo's folly or Monty's Carlo
The Ryder Cup is arguably the most prestigious and most exciting golf tournament in the World. It is a team event contested once every 2 years between 12 golfers from Europe and 12 golfers from the United States of America. For the 12 singles matches on the final Sunday, each captain selects the order in which his players tee off. In 2008, after an eventual US victory, the sporting press was hu...
