R Documentation

Convert birth measurements to INTERGROWTH z-scores/centiles (generic)

Description

Convert birth measurements to INTERGROWTH z-scores/centiles (generic)

Usage

igb_value2centile(gagebrth, val, var = "lencm", sex = "Female")

igb_value2zscore(gagebrth, val, var = "lencm", sex = "Female")

Arguments

`gagebrth`	gestational age at birth in days
`val`	the value(s) of the anthro measurement to convert
`var`	the name of the measurement to convert ("lencm", "wtkg", "hcircm", "wlr")
`sex`	"Male" or "Female"

Note

For gestational ages between 24 and 33 weeks, the INTERGROWTH very early preterm standard is used.

Examples

# get Male birth length z-scores
# first we need just 1 record per subject with subject-level data
cppsubj <- subset(cpp, !duplicated(cpp$subjid))
cppsubj <- subset(cppsubj, sex == "Male")
igb_value2zscore(cpp$gagebrth, cpp$birthlen, var = "lencm", sex = "Male")
