Achieving clinically optimal balance between accuracy and simplicity of a formula for manual use: Development of a simple formula for estimating liver graft weight with donor anthropometrics.

Achieving clinically optimal balance between accuracy and simplicity of a formula for manual use: Development of a simple formula for estimating liver graft weight with donor anthropometrics.

In developing a formula for manual use in clinical settings, simplicity is as important as accuracy. Whole-liver (WL) mass is often estimated using demographic and anthropometric information to calculate the standard liver volume or recommended graft volume in liver transplantation. Multiple formula...
