Jinsi ya kukokotoa Body Surface Area

Body Surface Area ni nini?

Body Surface Area (BSA) is the measured or calculated surface of a human body. It is used in clinical medicine primarily for calculating chemotherapy dosages, cardiac index, and burn surface area. BSA is more accurate than weight alone for drug dosing because it correlates better with metabolic rate.

Fomula

DuBois & DuBois (1916): BSA = 0.007184 × height^0.725 × weight^0.425
BSA
√(height × weight / 3600) — √(height × weight / 3600)
