Body surface area for adjustment of drug dose
Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin, 2010For many drugs, it is important to adjust the dose for individual patients. To estimate the dose, a patient’s body weight or body surface area (BSA) is often used.1 BSA is difficult to measure directly, but may be calculated using formulae involving the patient’s weight and height.1,2 Here we discuss BSA and when it is used in practice, in particular ...

Relationship of body surface area to weight in fishes
Canadian Journal of Zoology, 1975The relationship of body surface area to weight in fishes can be expressed by the equation S = KWb. The values of K and b can vary among species as well as during the different life stages of a species. For the species examined in this study, the values of K ranged from 5.8 to 10.8, and b from 0.64 to 0.74.

Body Weight and Body Surface Area in Chemotherapy
2012In oncology, dosing of anticancer drugs in adult patients is mostly adjusted to estimated body surface area or more rarely to body weight. When compared with a fixed (or flat) dose which is the rule in other therapeutic areas, this approach is a complication necessitating calculations that can lead to prescription and administration errors.
