The effective dose was calculated using the new tissue weighting factors from ICRP publications 103 and the prior factors from ICRP publication 60.
(E/A0 3 male and (E/A0 3 are the effective dose estimations generated from the equivalent dose of each gender separately using the new phantoms and new weighting factors.

Calculations were performed for each radiopharmaceutical in two different ways, either (a) the effective dose was calculated using the new voxel phantom with weighting factors from ICRP publication 60 [4] or (b) the calculations were made using the new phantoms and the new ICRP publication 103 tissue weighting factors [1].
The EQ-5D was scored using the New Zealand-specific tariff (utility weights, tariff 2) [ 32].
The danger in using the new study to renounce concerns about weight as Campos suggests is that we invite weight gain -- which will take us from overweight, to mildly obese, to more severely so.
Using these new weight-by age distributions, we calculated Z-scores for the upper and lower bounds of the weight bands used in the WHO dosing recommendations (3 kg, 5.9 kg, 6 kg, 9.9 kg, 10 kg, 13.9 kg, 14 kg, 19.9 kg, 20 kg, 24.9 kg, 25 kg, and 34.9 kg).
In addition, a sensitivity analysis wherein the rank order of 2 risk elements can be swapped and the risk score recalculated on the basis of the new weights can be used to show the effect of these changes on a virus's aggregate score.
In order to use the new statistical model, the weights β and γ must be identified.
