Preterm Centile Chart
Charts for head circumference, height (length) and weight can be viewed for children who were born preterm.
Preterm Centile charts are based on the Fenton 2013 Preterm charts.
In order to graph patient data, the following information must exist for the patient:
- Patient Biographics:
- Date of Birth
- Sex
- Birth details recorded in the Birth Details clinical
item:
- Height
- Weight
- Head circumference
- Gestational age at birth - if weeks and days are known, enter the weeks
as a whole number and days as a decimal, rounded to 1 decimal place. For
example, for 31/40 + 4 enter 31.6.
- 0.1 for one day
- 0.3 for two days
- 0.4 for three days
- 0.6 for four days
- 0.7 for five days
- 0.9 for six days
- Any clinical items containing child growth information:
- Height
