Data and Methods Around Reference Values in Pediatrics
Description
Calculation of standard deviation scores and percentiles adduced from different
growth standards (WHO, UK, Germany, Italy, China, etc). Therefore, the calculation of SDS-values
for different measures like BMI, weight, height, head circumference, different
ratios, etc. are easy to carry out. Also, references for laboratory values in
children and adults are available, e.g., serum lipids, iron-related blood parameters, IGF, liver enzymes. In the
new version, there are also functions combining the lms() function from package 'gamlss' with
resampling methods for using with repeated measurements and family dependencies. A searchable list
of items can be found here: .
