Guidelines/Instructions

GENERAL/TBI: Record the height (or length for the very young) of the participant/ subject. To be collected at the visit, not self-reported. Also, indicate whether height was measured in inches (in) or centimeters (cm). The suggested range is 0-400 cm or 0-150 inches. Height and weight can be measured or estimated upon admission, or alternatively information may be obtained from relatives. Add date stamp for when assessed if possible. Documentation of height and weight is motivated by two reasons: 1. the risk of (systemic) complications is greater in the presence of obesity; 2. body weight is important for calculating required doses of (study) medications.
