compute_bsa: Compute Body Surface Area (BSA)

In admiral: ADaM in R Asset Library

Compute Body Surface Area (BSA)

Description

Computes BSA from height and weight making use of the specified derivation method

Usage

compute_bsa(height = height, weight = weight, method)

Arguments

height	HEIGHT value It is expected that HEIGHT is in cm. Permitted Values: numeric vector
weight	WEIGHT value It is expected that WEIGHT is in kg. Permitted Values: numeric vector
method	Derivation method to use: Mosteller: sqrt(height * weight / 3600) DuBois-DuBois: 0.20247 * (height/100) ^ 0.725 * weight ^ 0.425 Haycock: 0.024265 * height ^ 0.3964 * weight ^ 0.5378 Gehan-George: 0.0235 * height ^ 0.42246 * weight ^ 0.51456 Boyd: 0.0003207 * (height ^ 0.3) * (1000 * weight) ^ (0.7285 - (0.0188 * log10(1000 * weight))) Fujimoto: 0.008883 * height ^ 0.663 * weight ^ 0.444 Takahira: 0.007241 * height ^ 0.725 * weight ^ 0.425 Permitted Values: character value

Details
