Fig C: C: This chart plots BMI values for patients with good quality ultrasound data (IQR/Median SWS <=0.3) versus BMI values for patients with poor quality data (IQR/Median SWS >0.3). On average, patients with poor quality data have higher BMI values demonstrating that the ultrasound technique breaks down in larger patients.
