Volume measurement in lymphoedema treatment: examination of formulae
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine a variety of mathematical volume formulae and their respective validity in establishing limb volume in monitoring and evaluation of treatment for lymphoedema. Using a random sample of treatment records from the Day Ward, Worthing Hospital, it is shown that the formula most commonly used at present, that for a cylinder, produces imprecise volume data. A simplified formula derived from the formula for a frustum is tested, and is found to produce more accurate data. The paper proposes that the frustum formula is more appropriate in establishing limb volume, and should be adopted by practitioners.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
