Excerpt

Since predicted body weight derived from height and gender reflects lung size better than actual body weight, it is reported that extravascular lung water indexed to the predicted body weight (EVLWIp) is more closely correlated with severity of illness and mortality than EVLW indexed to the actual body weight (EVLWIa). However, the usefulness of EVLWIp has not been evaluated in a multicenter study or in the Asian population. …
