PediTools: Fenton 2013 1.1.1

Developed explicitly for pediatric clinical providers, this application utilizes the 2013 Fenton growth charts tailored for premature infants born between 22 4/7 and 50 0/7 weeks gestation to generate percentiles and Z-scores relating to weight, length, and head circumference.

The Fenton 2013 preterm growth charts have been meticulously crafted using a systematic review and meta-analysis of population-based, gender-specific preterm measurements taken at birth pertaining to weight, length, and head circumference references sourced from developed nations. These charts have been refined to ensure a seamless alignment with the renowned World Health Organization (WHO) Growth Standard, facilitating a smooth transition between preterm and WHO growth charts. The incorporation of LMS parameters (skew, median, and standard deviation) enables the calculation of precise percentiles and Z-scores.

Key Features:

• Gender-specific data spanning from 22 4/7 to 50 0/7 weeks of gestation
• Ability to calculate percentiles and Z-scores for weight, length, and head circumference
• Alert mechanism for identifying small (below the 10th percentile) or large (exceeding the 90th percentile) measurements based on gestational age
• Visualization of growth needed to sustain the current percentile
• Intuitively designed buttons for quick access to 10th, 50th, and 90th percentile metrics
• Slider functionality enabling the display of measurements falling between the 1st and 99th percentiles
