What it calculates

The β€œBates-Jensen” calculator computes BWAT score in points from 13 parameters: size (1–5), depth (1–5), edges (1–5), undermining (1–5), necrotic tissue type (1–5), necrotic tissue amount (1–5), exudate type (1–5), exudate amount (1–5), skin color surrounding wound (1–5), peripheral tissue edema (1–5), peripheral tissue induration (1–5), granulation tissue (1–5), epithelialization (1–5).

Used by professionals and patients to assess health metrics, dosages, and risks.

Example calculation

With parameters Size (1–5) = 2, Depth (1–5) = 2, Edges (1–5) = 2, Undermining (1–5) = 1, Necrotic tissue type (1–5) = 2, Necrotic tissue amount (1–5) = 2, Exudate type (1–5) = 3, Exudate amount (1–5) = 3, Skin color surrounding wound (1–5) = 2, Peripheral tissue edema (1–5) = 2, Peripheral tissue induration (1–5) = 1, Granulation tissue (1–5) = 3, Epithelialization (1–5) = 3 the result is 28 points (1 = best condition, 5 = worst).

How to use

  1. Enter size (1–5), depth (1–5), edges (1–5), undermining (1–5), necrotic tissue type (1–5), necrotic tissue amount (1–5), exudate type (1–5), exudate amount (1–5), skin color surrounding wound (1–5), peripheral tissue edema (1–5), peripheral tissue induration (1–5), granulation tissue (1–5) and epithelialization (1–5) β€” each field above is adjustable with a slider.
  2. BWAT score (points) is calculated automatically as you type.

FAQ

How is BMI calculated?
BMI = weight (kg) / height (m)Β². Example: 70 kg / (1.75 m)Β² = 22.9. The WHO normal range is 18.5–24.9; below that is underweight, 25–29.9 is overweight, and 30+ is obese.
Is BMI accurate for everyone?
No. BMI does not distinguish muscle from fat, so athletes may show a high BMI with low body fat. It is also less reliable for teenagers, pregnant people, older adults, and very tall or short individuals.
What are the BMI categories?
Underweight: below 18.5. Normal: 18.5–24.9. Overweight: 25–29.9. Obese class I: 30–34.9; class II: 35–39.9; class III: 40+.
What is a better measure than BMI?
Body fat percentage, waist-to-height ratio (aim for under 0.5), and waist circumference give a clearer picture of health than BMI alone.
