Predictors of body surface area

Journal of Clinical Anesthesia, 1992
To determine the accuracy of body surface area (BSA) calculations proposed in the literature and their applicability to patient populations such as neonates and parturients.Using 395 actual BSA measurements in the literature, 15 prediction formulas were assessed for accuracy using the root mean squared error (RMSE) method of prediction.

ESTIMATING THE SURFACE AREA OF THE HUMAN BODY

Statistics in Medicine, 1996
A number of formulae have been suggested for estimating the surface area (SA) of a human body from measurements of height H and weight W. Most of these are of the same functional form, namely InSA = a(0) + a1lnH + a2lnW in logarithmic terms, but have quite different values of the coefficients. We show that they are all essentially equivalent in view of

A revision of body surface area estimations

European Journal of Applied Physiology and Occupational Physiology, 1985
The results from the present study indicate that the equation of Dubois and Dubois (1916), now in common use for estimating body surface area, is not the most accurate of those available. Our new equation is based on the measurement of body weight and upper calf circumference only.

Body Surface Area in Human Beings

Nature, 1964
Halliday and Hugo1 reported on a new method for the determination of the radiation surface area of the human body. They concluded that “measurements on a conventionalized model of a human being have shown that a human subject in the spread-eagle position presents the largest radiation area that can be presented, and that this area is approximately 95 ...

Calculation of Surface Area of the Body

Pediatrics, 1960
Several recent commentaries have been concerned primarily with the use of surface area of the body as a means of computing parenteral fluid dosages. Since there is, fortunately, a reasonably wide latitude of bodily homeostatic mechanisms, it becomes largely a matter of personal preference whether one utilizes surface area to estimate initial dosages or

Estimations of body surface area in newborns

Acta Paediatrica, 2008
AbstractAim: To explore the suitability of existing formulas to estimate the body surface area (BSA) of newborns when direct measurement of surface estimation is not practical.Methods: In 589 term‐newborns of normal weight and height, the five estimations (in cm2) were performed using four known BSA formulas by Boyd, Meban, Mosteller and Dubois, and ...

Body Surface Area of Indians

Journal of Applied Physiology, 1958
The body surface area of adult males from various parts of India was measured by covering the body with small geometric pieces of inelastic cloth.
