A model for habitus-adjusted paediatric weight estimation by age and data concerning the validation of this method on a large dataset of English children

It is often not possible to weigh children upon arrival at an emergency room before commencing the provision of emergency care. Because drugs for children are prescribed on the basis of age and body weight, estimations of weight are necessitated. Age-based equations have been one of the most commonl...
