Clinical use

This PedsCore page brings together clinical information, implementation status and available evidence for WHO Growth. It is intended for Children and adolescents according to applicable WHO ranges. The tool belongs to Growth and nutrition and should be interpreted in the appropriate clinical context.

Interpretation and validation

Central WHO Growth engine implemented for the official anthropometric scope: WHO 0-5 weight-for-age, length/height-for-age, weight-for-length, weight-for-height, BMI-for-age and head circumference-for-age; WHO 2007 weight-for-age 5-10, height-for-age 5-19 and BMI-for-age 5-19. Weight-for-age is not extrapolated beyond 10 years. WHO data use a separate license; output is descriptive without diagnoses or nutritional recommendations.

PedsCore does not replace clinical judgement. Scores, rules and calculators are presented with evidence traceability and a visible implementation status.

Clinical review and maintenance

Implementation review and independent clinical review are shown separately. PedsCore does not attribute named reviewers or external endorsement without a public record supporting the claim. The repository preserves source, change and test history.

Editorial transparency

This page is part of an open-source project. Evidence level, implementation status, validation notes and sources are shown explicitly. It currently contains 2 catalog references. Content and calculation changes are reviewed through the public repository, automated tests and version traceability.

The absence of an active calculator is not a clinical recommendation: some tools remain reference-only while source, licensing, exact variant or validation still require review.

Each page lets you verify what is being assessed, which population the tool describes, whether local calculation is available, which limitations remain open and which references support implementation. This context matters when different publications, versions or adaptations share a similar name but are not interchangeable.
