A Single Sheet Pediatric Growth Chart

A Convenient Device for Following the Physical Growth Patterns of Both Boys and Girls

Elaine Kohler, M.D.

Assistant Professor of Pediatrics, Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, Wisc

A chart has been designed for simplified growth evaluation combining boys' and girls' measurements to give a "usual" 50th percentile and "limits of normal" 97th and 3rd percentile lines for height and weight. Head circumference limits and average low birthweight growth lines are included on the graph. The chart includes the entire pediatric age range from birth, even if premature, through 18 years. While meticulous statistical significance cannot be derived from plotting on such a chart, it is offered to simplify the recording of children's growth and the evaluation of the consistency and normalcy of that growth.
