Body Surface Area

National Cancer Institute · Definitions · 2020

A measure of the 2-dimensional extent of the body surface (i.e., the skin). Body surface area (BSA) can be calculated by mathematical formula or from a chart that relates height to weight. BSA is often an important factor in dosing.

Body Surface Area

Carlos Vaccaro, Hernán Vaccarezza, Gustavo Rossi et al. · Diseases of the Colon & Rectum · 2012

Body surface area is a predictor for conversion and longer laparoscopic operative time. It should be considered when informing patients, selecting cases in the early learning curve, and assessing standard of care.

Surface area versus body mass.

<p>Log-log plot of total external body surface area plotted against total body mass for all the sauropod models. Note that the slope of the fitted regression line is close to that predicted for isometric size increase – 0.67.

Body Surface Area Measurement for Lesion Area Assessment

Ahmad Fadzil Mohamad Hani, Esa Prakasa · 2014

Psoriasis is one of the most common skin disorders. The disease appears as red scaling plaques that can spread on any body part [1]. In psoriasis, the immune system sends incorrect signals that speed up the growth of new skin cells. Psoriasis affects about 2%–3% of the world’s population [2, 3]. The Dermatological Society of Malaysia estimates the prevalence of psoriasis in Malaysia to be 3% [4]. Since the disease cannot be totally cured, a psoriasis patient needs continuous and long-term treatment. The Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) scoring method is the gold standard for severityCONTENTS3.1 Introduction .................................................................................................. 87 3.2 PASI Area Assessment ................................................................................88 3.3 Development of the PASI Area Assessment Method ............................. 943.3.1 Image Acquisition of 2D Body Surface Images ........................... 94 3.3.2 Area Segmentation of Psoriasis Lesions from 2D BodySurface Images ................................................................................. 96 3.3.3 Correcting for Overlapped Areas in BSA Measurement ......... 101 3.3.4 Validation of Overlapping Areas in BSA Measurement .......... 106 3.3.5 Validation on a Medical Mannequin .......................................... 109 3.3.6 Fuzzy c-Means Clustering for PASI Area Classication .......... 1113.4 Results and Analysis ................................................................................. 112 3.4.1 ROI Segmentation in the PASI Area Algorithm ........................ 112 3.4.2 Lesion Segmentation in the PASI Area Algorithm ................... 114 3.4.3 Lesion Area Classication for PASI Area Scoring..................... 114 3.4.4 Evaluation on PASI Area Agreement .......................................... 1163.5 Conclusion .................................................................................................. 117 Appendix: Matlab Code ..................................................................................... 118 References ............................................................................................................. 121assessment and in determining treatment efcacy [5]. Four parametersarea (ratio of lesion area to total body surface area), erythema, scaliness, and thickness-are examined to determine the PASI score. The parameter scores from each body region (head, trunk, upper limbs, and lower limbs) are weighted and totaled to provide a PASI score ranging from 0 to 72.

Body Surface Area Teaching in Pediatrics

Harry C. Shirkey · JAMA · 1967

<h3>To the Editor:—</h3> Much literature has appeared in recent years on the subject of body surface area (BSA).<sup>1-8</sup>In spite of the fact that various textbooks and brochures present drug dosage in terms of BSA, there has been, to our knowledge, no considered attempt to learn how widely the subject is being taught in medical schools. In the opinion of the authors, use of BSA as a gauge for dosage, both of pharmaceutical products and of water and electrolytes, offers the advantages of simplicity and accuracy, and, therefore, efficacy and safety. Use of BSA does not, of course, involve a principle basically different from that employed in the use of body weight. Rather, it represents a rational convenience that makes it far easier for the physician to remember doses, is particularly useful in the case of frequently used drugs, and through its very simplicity helps avoid error. We conducted
