A global perspective on the accuracy of pediatric weight estimation methods in emergency care: A systematic review

Within the limitations of the uneven global evidence base, the tools that appear most reliable for estimating pediatric weight in emergency departments are those that incorporate more than one anthropometric variable or are supported by local validation. Given the scarcity of data from various regions and specific populations, each emergency system must determine the approach that best suits its local demographic profile, invest in staff training, and apply standardized validation criteria before adopting changes in routine practice.
