Pediatric Growth Chart Analyzer

Interpret pediatric growth measurements using CDC and WHO growth charts for children from birth through 20 years. This skill plots height, weight, BMI, and head circumference against age- and sex-specific percentile curves, identifies abnormal growth patterns, and generates clinical recommendations for further evaluation when measurements fall outside expected ranges.

What It Does

• Calculates age- and sex-specific percentiles for weight, height/length, BMI, and head circumference using CDC (2-20 years) and WHO (0-2 years) reference data
• Identifies growth parameters that fall below the 3rd percentile or above the 97th percentile and flags them for clinical attention
• Detects concerning growth velocity patterns such as weight faltering (crossing two major percentile lines downward) or rapid weight gain
• Computes BMI percentile for children aged 2-20 years with classification (underweight, healthy weight, overweight, obese)
• Generates clinical recommendations including nutritional assessment, endocrine evaluation referral, or continued monitoring based on growth trajectory
