#Body Mass Index (BMI)

Source: World Health Organization

BMI is a simple index of weight-for-height that is commonly used to classify underweight, overweight, and obesity in adults. It provides a useful population-level measure of overweight and obesity. However, BMI does not differentiate between body fat and muscle mass, so it's not a perfect measure.

#Body Surface Area (Mosteller)

The Mosteller formula is a commonly used method to calculate Body Surface Area, which is a measurement used in many medical tasks.

#Corrected Calcium based on Albumin

Source: Payne RB, et al. (1973)

Calcium levels in the blood can be affected by albumin levels, as calcium binds to albumin. Correcting calcium based on albumin provides a more accurate representation of calcium levels in various clinical scenarios.

Calculates the corrected QT interval using various methods.

#Corrected Sodium for Hyperglycaemia

Source: Katz MA (1973)

Source: Hillier TA, et al. (1999)

Corrects serum sodium levels based on elevated blood glucose levels using various methods. Values are rounded to the nearest integer.

#Cycle Time to Heart Rate

Converts cycle time in milliseconds (ms) to heart rate in beats per minute (BPM) rounded to the nearest integer.

#Heart Rate to Cycle Time

Converts heart rate in beats per minute (BPM) to cycle time in milliseconds (ms).

#LDL Calculation (Friedewald Equation)

Source: Friedewald WT, Levy RI and Fredrickson DS (1972)

Estimates LDL cholesterol using the Friedewald equation, which requires total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides.

#MDRD GFR Equation

Source: Levey AS, et al. (1999)

The MDRD formula is a widely used equation to estimate the glomerular filtration rate based on serum creatinine, age, and race.

#Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP)

The MAP is an average blood pressure in an individual. It's used to give a general overview of blood flow and perfusion. A normal MAP is usually 70-110 mmHg.

#MELD Score Calculation

Source: Kamath PS, et al. (2001)

Calculates the MELD score based on serum creatinine, serum bilirubin, and INR, used to assess the severity of chronic liver disease.
