Hello Fellow Chuggers,

I am new to VFE and am so frustrated with this program. Any ways I was wondering if anyone is willing to share their Body Mass Index (BMI) and Ideal Body Weight (IBW) calculation. Any advice or sharing of information would be much appreciated.

Thank you,

Emma Parker

Here ya go:

{fn CalcBMIConv() { local heightval = 0 local weightval = 0
cond case OBSNOW("height") <> "" heightval = OBSNOW("Height") case OBSPREV("height") <> "" and OBSNOW("height") = "" heightval = OBSPREV("Height") else heightval = "" endcond
cond case OBSNOW("weight") <> "" weightval = OBSNOW("weight") case OBSPREV("weight") <> "" and OBSNOW("weight") = "" weightval = OBSPREV("weight") else weightval = "" endcond
if weightval == "" or heightval == "" then return "" else return (weightval / 2.2) / ((heightval / 39.4)^2) endif
}}

Here's a form utilizing it: Vitals

Sorry, but I don't have anything using IBW

I'm not sure why the forum formatted my text all jumbled like that, let me know if you can't understand it.

adaniel, to post my code as intended, I have been doing this.  
Edit your post, cut it all out of [Visual], 
select [Text] and paste it in between these HTML tags 
(In  my example below, replace  {  }  with <>.
I had to use {  and  }  to prevent it processing as HTML tags)

{PRE}{CODE}
... your post and code here ...

{/CODE}{/PRE}

You will also need to replace <>
with <<>> 
or they will get stripped out.

For ideal body weight, this is what we are using

--Brad

{ GLOBAL IBW=round( IF match(PATIENT.SEX,"F")>0 then IF (OBSANY("HEIGHT") > 60) then 100+5*(OBSANY("HEIGHT")-60) else 100-2*(60-OBSANY("HEIGHT")) endif else IF (OBSANY("HEIGHT") > 60) then 106+6*(OBSANY("HEIGHT")-60) else 106-2*(60-OBSANY("HEIGHT")) endif endif ,0) } { IBW }

;
