Does PediMath replace clinical assessment?
No. PediMath is an educational reference tool. Results should be verified against patient context, current guidelines, and institutional protocols.
Frequently Asked Questions
Short answers about responsible use of PediMath pediatric calculators and growth chart references.
What data do I need for reliable results?
It depends on the tool, but calculations commonly require correctly entered age, sex, weight, height, measurement date, gestational age, or lab values.
Which references does PediMath use?
Calculators and charts use recognized references such as CDC, WHO, INTERGROWTH-21st, 2017 AAP blood pressure guidance, and 2022 AAP bilirubin guidance where applicable.
Can I use the results in emergencies?
Do not rely on PediMath for emergency decisions. Use local protocols, immediate clinical assessment, and specialist input when needed.
How do I report a possible error?
Use the contact page and include the calculator, entered data, observed result, expected result, and related clinical reference.
Can I save or send patient data?
The public calculator pages are intended for point-in-time use. Avoid sending identifiable information through support email or feedback messages.
Why might a result differ from another tool?
Differences can come from rounding, units, exact age, selected standard, guideline updates, or differences between local reference sources.
What should I do if a result looks wrong?
Check units, dates, and entered values. If the concern remains, confirm against a primary reference and report the case without personal data.
Recommended Use
Use PediMath for repeatable calculations, percentile review, and educational support. Document the reference used when the result affects follow-up or clinical communication.
