| Centile
Calculator
This
software calculates customised birthweight (per)centiles
using the principles of the Gestation Related Optimal
Weight (GROW)
program.
The latest versions give
the option of customisation based on datasets from UK (N=40,000), Sweden (N=400,000), New
Zealand (N=5,000), Australia
(N=12,500) and United States (N=35,000).
For each of the datasets,
coefficients affecting birthweight were obtained
using a backwards conditional multiple regression technique.
There are TWO forms of the calculator.
Form 1 (individual)
This is used to calculate
a single birthweight centile
at a time
Form 2 (bulk)
This is used to
calculate a dataset of centiles
in a spreadsheet
