Body Mass Index (BMI)
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Data Domain: | Patient Vitals |
| Data Type: | Numeric |
| Definition | Body Mass Index (BMI) is derived from the measured height and weight of a patient. For i2b2, the BMI value is pulled directly from the source system (EPIC/WebCIS) and the calculations are performed by the source system for BMI. Note! BMI values will only be available if both a height and weight value are recorded for a patient at a single encounter. If either of these values are not available at the time of entry of Height or Weight, a BMI will not be available for the patient at that encounter. |
