Haycock GB et al. Geometric method for measuring body surface area: a height-weight formula validated in infants, children, and adults. J Pediatr. DOI: 10.1016/S0022-3476(78)80600-2. PMID: 650346. Scope: Boyd body surface area (m²) = 0.0003207 × height(cm)^0.3 × weight(g)^(0.7285 − 0.0188 × log10[weight(g)]) as cited in comparative BSA validation studies. (1935)
