Egy régen várt, online elérhető módszertani segédeszköz a gyermekorvosok és védőnők számára ‒ a „KidLongi - ONV2” szoftver

Abstract

. The Kidlongi - ONV2 software is a cloud-based software. It contains (1) the reference centiles, age-group mean and standard deviation values of the most important body measurements of children aged between 0–18 constructed on the basis of the research results of the Hungarian Longitudinal Growth Study (HLGS, 1980–2001); (2) the reference centiles of body height velocity between 3 and 18 years (HLGS); (3) the reference values of children’s (aged between 3 and 18 years) most important body measurements, which reference values were constructed on the basis of the Second Hungarian Growth Survey (HGS2, 2003–2006, data were collected cross-sectionally).
 The longitudinal references (HLGS) allow to follow children’s growth by regular monitoring, while the cross-sectional reference values (HGS2) support the estimation of actual developmental status of children. The software provides simultaneous visualization of measured data in the mirror of both longitudinal and cross-sectional growth reference centiles. Measurements, figures containing children’s data and growth references can be downloaded and printed from the software.
 The most important research results of both the longitudinal and cross-sectional studies are available in the Scientific background chapter. Additionally, the so-called MDN (maturity, development nutritional status) matrix method can also be learned in the software, which new method can estimate the body development, maturity and nutritional status at birth.
