In this study, the Broselow tape had the best overall accuracy, with 50.7% (vs 30.88% for APLS 2011) of estimates occurring within 10% of measured weight and 80.0% (vs 55% for APLS 2011) estimates within 20% of measured weight. The median patient age was 8.2 years (IQR 2.5–14.2 years), with a slight male predominance (51.5% were male).
