Abstract
Recent scientific studies show the growing importance of the coefficients: BSA and TBSA, as an alternative to the widely used BMI. The relevant indicators are widely used in medicine, including such areas as: the treatment of burns, chemotherapy, dermatology and toxicology; as benchmarks when calculating doses of drugs and fluids. The particular problems concerning this subject are: the change of the reference parameter value which represents the patient's body weight, multiplicity and variety of applicable methods of calculating BSA and TBSA, as well as a the lack of computer systems supporting the performance of all analytical processes. Therefore, this article describes: the structure of the designed and developed computer system supporting the process of research and analysis for the identified state variables, and the study of the accuracy and reliability of the methods known from the literature and a proposal of imaging of the changes in individual coefficients, both in adults and children. For simulation studies 10 most commonly used methods were selected.
