I will show how these empirical considerations motivate a choice between two styles of quantification. The first of these styles involves treating quantified variables ra...
متن کاملRelation of anthropometric and dynamometric variables
Prediction of serious postoperative complications by using standard anthropometric and biochemical nutritional variables was attempted in 225 patients admitted for major abdominal surgery. In 102 of the patients handgrip dynamometry was also measured, and this proved the most sensitive test, predicting complications in 48 of the 55 patients (87%) who developed them (p <0 001). Arm muscle circum...
