Clinical Guidance

BMI is a screening measure of body size, not a direct measure of body fat. The standard WHO categories are underweight (<18.5), normal (18.5–24.9), overweight (25–29.9), and obese (≥30).

BMI can overestimate body fat in athletes with high muscle mass and underestimate it in older adults with low muscle mass. Interpret it alongside waist circumference and clinical context rather than as a standalone diagnosis.

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Indication — The indication recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.
  • Spectrum — The spectrum recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.
  • Duration — The duration recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.
  • Culture-directed therapy — The culture-directed therapy recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the antibiotic stewardship result against the clinical thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the indication, spectrum, duration, culture-directed therapy for the patient or scenario you are assessing.
