Use: | Calculates the height percentile for a patient up to 20 years old compared with other individuals of the same age and gender. This function uses a height value calculated with metric measurements. The percentile is derived from the normal pediatric chart.
Note: This function calculates percentiles using data from the World Health Organization (WHO) for patients aged 0-24 months and from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for patients aged 2-20 years and for premature infants and Turner syndrome patients. To obtain the accurate calculations for patients born prematurely or with Turner syndrome, you must set up specific template fields and define them in Universal Preferences in the System Administrator application.
The standard growth charts are used for Down syndrome patients. |
