Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the estimation and distribution of body surface area (BSA) among 179 adults, addressing concerns about the accuracy of existing estimation formulas.
- - The authors analyzed various BSA formulas and introduced enhanced coefficients, resulting in a significant reduction in errors (at least 30.5% in mean absolute error and 21.1% in maximum error) compared to traditional methods.
- - The findings suggest that a single universal BSA formula is impractical due to individual differences, highlighting the need for new, more accurate estimation models for diverse populations.
