The formula to calculate the Growth Velocity Percentile (P) is:
\[ P = \frac{V - M}{SD} \]
Where:
Growth velocity percentile is a measure used to compare an individual’s growth rate to a reference population. It indicates the percentage of individuals in the reference population who have a growth velocity less than or equal to the individual’s growth velocity. This measure is often used in pediatric growth assessments to monitor and evaluate the growth patterns of children and adolescents. By comparing an individual’s growth velocity to standardized growth charts, healthcare providers can identify potential growth issues and make informed decisions about further evaluations or interventions.
Definition: Calculates the growth velocity of a child over a specific period.
Formula: \( V = \frac{\Delta W}{\Delta t} \)
Example: \( V = \frac{5}{6} \)
Definition: Calculates the weight growth velocity of a child.
Formula: \( V = \frac{\Delta W}{\Delta t} \)
Example: \( V = \frac{3}{4} \)
Definition: Determines the percentile rank of a child's growth based on standard growth charts.
Formula: \( P = f(\text{age}, \text{weight}, \text{height}) \)
Example: \( P = f(5, 20, 110) \)
Definition: Calculates the velocity of an Agile team based on completed story points.
Formula: \( V = \frac{\text{Total Story Points}}{\text{Number of Sprints}} \)
Example: \( V = \frac{120}{4} \)
Definition: Calculates the growth velocity for boys based on weight and height changes.
Formula: \( V = \frac{\Delta H}{\Delta t} \)
Example: \( V = \frac{10}{12} \)
Definition: Determines the velocity of an Agile team based on completed work.
Formula: \( V = \frac{\text{Total Story Points}}{\text{Number of Sprints}} \)
Example: \( V = \frac{150}{5} \)
Definition: Calculates the percentile rank of a child's growth based on standard growth charts.
Formula: \( P = f(\text{age}, \text{weight}, \text{height}) \)
Example: \( P = f(6, 25, 115) \)
