igb_zscore2var: Convert INTERGROWTH z-scores/centiles to birth measurements

In ki-tools/growthstandards: Anthropometric Growth Standard Calculations

Convert INTERGROWTH z-scores/centiles to birth measurements

Description

Convert INTERGROWTH z-scores/centiles to birth measurements

Usage

igb_zscore2lencm(gagebrth, z = 0, sex = "Female")

igb_zscore2wtkg(gagebrth, z = 0, sex = "Female")

igb_zscore2hcircm(gagebrth, z = 0, sex = "Female")

igb_zscore2wlr(gagebrth, z = 0, sex = "Female")

igb_centile2lencm(gagebrth, p = 50, sex = "Female")

igb_centile2wtkg(gagebrth, p = 50, sex = "Female")

igb_centile2hcircm(gagebrth, p = 50, sex = "Female")

igb_centile2wlr(gagebrth, p = 50, sex = "Female")

Arguments

gagebrth	gestational age at birth in days
z	z-score(s) to convert
sex	"Male" or "Female"
p	centile(s) to convert (must be between 0 and 100)

Note

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

Examples

# get 99th centile for Male birth weights across some gestational ages
igb_centile2wtkg(168:300, 99, sex = "Male")

# recreate figure from preterm paper
d <- expand.grid(centile = c(3, 50, 97), gage = 168:300)
d$value <- igb_centile2lencm(d$gage, d$centile, sex = "Male")
lattice::xyplot(value ~ gage / 7, groups = centile, data = d, type = "l")
