Dosing weight is determined based on total (TBW), ideal (IBW), or adjusted (ABW) body weight in kg.
calc_dosing_weight(weight, height, age, sex, verbose = TRUE, ...)
Returns a list of the following elements:
Dosing weight, in units of kg
Units of dosing weight (kg)
Type of dosing weight selected, e.g., total body weight, ideal body weight.
weight
height
age
sex
verbosity (`TRUE` or `FALSE`)
pased to `calc_abw()` function
This is derived using following: - In principle, use IBW - If total body weight (TBW) > 1.2*IBW, then use ABW - If TBW < IBW, use TBW
calc_dosing_weight(weight = 50, height = 170, sex = "female", age = 50)
