Term information
Various calculations have been published to arrive at the BSA without direct measurement: Other formulas include the Haycock formula[5]: {BSA (m^2)}=0.024265 \times {weight \mbox{ (kg)}}^{0.5378} \times {height \mbox{ (cm)}}^{0.3964} [5] Haycock GB, Schwartz GJ, Wisotsky DH "Geometric method for measuring body surface area: A height-weight formula validated in infants, children and adults" J Pediatr 1978, 93:62-66. source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_surface_area#cite_note-4 Haycock GB, Schwartz GJ, Wisotsky DH "Geometric method for measuring body surface area: A height-weight formula validated in infants, children and adults" J Pediatr 1978, 93:62-66.
