Guidelines/Instructions
ALS/GENERAL/TBI/SCI/STROKE: Record the weight of the participant/subject. To be collected at the visit, not self-reported. Indicate whether weight was measured in kilograms (kg) preferably, or pounds (lbs.). Height and weight are commonly collected at the baseline visit. Depending on the study population and study intervention it may be appropriate to collect height and weight at subsequent study visits. The suggested range is 0-500 kg or 0-1000 lbs. Add date stamp for when assessed. Recommend collection at least on date of TBI. 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.
