Examples of uses of the<unk> : * Renal clearance usually divided by the<unk>  i.e. per 1.73 m² to gain an appreciation of the true glomerular filtration rate (GFR); * The Quetelet index uses a somewhat modified form of the<unk> ; * The cardiac index is a measure of cardiac output divided by the<unk> , giving a better approximation of the effective cardiac output; * Chemotherapy is often dosed according to the patient's<unk> . * Glucocorticoid dosing is also expressed in terms of<unk>  for calculating maintenance doses or to compare high dose use with maintenance requirement. There is some evidence that<unk>  values are less accurate at extremes of height and weight, where<unk>  Mass Index may be a better estimate (for hemodynamic parameters).
