The<unk>  is a formula to help approximate water and caloric loss (and therefore the water requirements) using a patient's body weight. Primarily aimed at pediatric patients, the<unk>  is the most commonly used estimate of daily caloric requirements. To date, the formula continues to be recommended in the current clinical practice guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatrics, American Society of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, and National Health Service. Developed in 1957 by Drs. Malcolm A.<unk>  and William E.<unk>  while at the Indiana University School of Medicine, the researchers concluded a non-linear relationship between energy expenditure and weight alone to determine fluid requirements. +The<unk>  For each kilogram in this range Daily caloric cost per kilogram 1-10 kg 100 kcal/kg/day 11-20 kg 50 kcal/kg/day >20 kg 20 kcal/kg/day
