Expert Tip

Mosteller formula is widely preferred in clinical settings due to its simplicity and accuracy across pediatric and adult populations.

Calculation Methodology & Details

๐Ÿ“

Formula

Mosteller: BSA = โˆš[ (H ร— W) / 3600 ] Du Bois: BSA = 0.007184 ร— W^0.425 ร— H^0.725 Haycock: BSA = 0.024265 ร— W^0.5378 ร— H^0.3964

Where weight (W) is in kg and height (H) is in cm. BSA is expressed in square meters (mยฒ). Metric units are calculated directly, while imperial metrics are converted first.

How BSA is Calculated

Review the clinical calculations process:

1

Select Metric or Imperial

Set inputs to standard metric (kg/cm) or imperial (lbs/in).

2

Input Patient Details

Enter height and weight values.

3

Choose Formula

Select Du Bois, Mosteller, Haycock, or Gehan & George depending on clinical guidelines.
