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.

How It Works

Assess VTE risk and calculate LMWH (enoxaparin/dalteparin) prophylactic and therapeutic dosing for pregnant and postpartum women using RCOG/ACCP thromboprophylaxis guidelines and weight-based dosing adjustments

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • RCOG/ACCP thromboprophylaxis guidelines — The rcog/accp thromboprophylaxis guidelines recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Weight-based dosing adjustments — The weight-based dosing adjustments recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the maternal vte lmwh dosing result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the RCOG/ACCP thromboprophylaxis guidelines, weight-based dosing adjustments for the scenario you are assessing. Assess VTE risk and calculate LMWH (enoxaparin/dalteparin) prophylactic and therapeutic dosing for pregnant and postpartum women using RCOG/ACCP thromboprophylaxis guidelines and weight-based dosing adjustments. Use the maternal vte lmwh dosing result to inform your calculation.
