There was an average BSA of 1.73 m 2 for 3,000 cancer patients from 1990 to 1998 in a European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) database. [19] During 2005 there was an average BSA of 1.79 m 2 for 3,613 adult cancer patients in the UK. Among them the average BSA for men was 1.91 m 2 and for women was 1.71 m 2. [20]
To estimate the body surface area of a burn, the rule of nines assigns BSA values to each major body part: [3] This allows the emergency medical provider to obtain a quick estimate of how much body surface area is burned. For example, if a patient's entire back (18%) and entire left leg (18%) are burned, about 36% of the patient's BSA is affected.
As an aside, I have four Palm-based BSA calculators and three of them use DuBois' formula which is arguably the least accurate means of calculation. The remaining one uses Mosteller's formula but converts English units to metric prior to using the SQRT( ((H * W)/3600) ) formula. Guess there's something to be said for longevity.
For verification purposes of the obtained valve area using echocardiogram and doppler measures, especially if the obtained valve area is in the range requiring surgery and cardiac output is low, the Gold standard of left heart catheterization for true hemodynamics should be obtained for validation using the Gorlin formula, so patient does not ...
For children and infants, the Lund and Browder chart is used to assess the burned body surface area. Different percentages are used because the ratio of the combined surface area of the head and neck to the surface area of the limbs is typically larger in children than that of an adult.

Sean Duffy, U.S. Transportation secretary nominee arrives for a meeting with Wyoming Sen. Cynthia Lummis, R-Wyo., on Capitol Hill on Dec. 11, 2024, in Washington, D.C.
The Lund and Browder chart is a tool useful in the management of burns for estimating the total body surface area affected. It was created by Dr. Charles Lund, Senior Surgeon at Boston City Hospital , and Dr. Newton Browder, based on their experiences in treating over 300 burn victims injured at the Cocoanut Grove fire in Boston in 1942.
