Patient-prosthesis mismatch (PPM) was reported for the first time by Rahimtoola [1] in 1978 and it occurs when the effective orifice area (EOA) indexed for the body surface area (BSA) is less than that of a normal human valve. Several studies using the indexed EOA have shown the negative impact of PPM on clinical outcomes: in fact, it seems to be related with less improvement in symptoms, i.e. ...

BACKGROUND Physiological functions are often assessed by standardizing for body surface area (BSA) to avoid excessive variation in calculations in pediatric practice. AIM To explore the suitability of existing formulae for estimating the BSA of Nigerian children. SUBJECTS AND METHODS This cross-sectional study involved healthy children in a Local Government Area, Oyo State, Nigeria. The BSA...

Advances in medical technology and the health sciences have lead to a rapid increase in the prevalence and morbidity of high-risk infants with chronic or permanent sequels such as the birth of early preterm infants. A suitable formula is therefore needed for body surface area (BSA) estimation for high-risk infants to more accurately devise therapeutic regimes in clinical practice. A cohort stud...

Body surface area (BSA) has been used in clinical practice to determine dosage of medication and in standardisation of biological parameters such as creatinine clearance, cardiac out put etc. BSA is estimated from measured height and weight, either with a nomogram or using a mathematical equation. There are many mathematical equations in the published literature but many are complex and may not...
