BACKGROUND:
PBW equations use height, age, and sex as input variables. We compared National
Institutes of Health (NIH) ARDS Network (ARDSNet), actuarial table (ACTUARIAL), and
Stewart (STEWART) PBW equations used in clinical trials, across physiologic ranges for age
and height. We used three-dimensional and two-dimensional surface analysis to compare
these PBW equations. We then used age and height from actual clinical trial subjects to quantify PBW equation differences.
METHODS:
RESULTS:
Significant differences between PBW equations for both men and women
could be important sources of interstudy variation. Studies should adopt a standard PBW
equation. We recommend using the NIH National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute ARDS
Network PBW equation because it is associated with the clinical trial that identified 6 mL/kg
PBW as an appropriate target.
