Comparative StudyBest Guess method: a further external validation study and comparison with other methods.
Validation of the 'Best Guess' weight estimation method on a geographically divergent external sample of children, plus comparison with APLS and Broselow weight estimation methods. ⋯ The Best Guess weight estimation method is accurate, especially in children aged 1-4 years. It moderately overestimates weight in other ages. The Broselow method was more precise, whereas the APLS method was the least accurate and precise of all. The ease of use of the Broselow method argues for greater use in the ED and prehospital setting.
