Abstract
Thank you to Cattermole and Wells for your response to our publication and we welcome the discussion related to our findings. It is pleasing to note that the respondents agree with our findings that estimation of weight based on age is inaccurate and risks mis-dosing of some drugs. The overall aim of our research was to analyse the accuracy of paediatric weight estimation by UK ambulance personnel applying age-based methods of estimating weight using contemporary data. https://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/tcop/bpj/2021/00000006/00000001/art00009 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ DOI http://dx.doi.org/10.29045/14784726.2021.6.6.1.54 Abstract published with permission.
