Description
Qualify an explicitly selected growth-chart reference.
Pediatric records need clear age units, measurement position, reference-chart version, caregiver identity and sample-volume basis. Offered-minus-residual volume differs from verified consumption, and a size label does not select a suitable device. Recording these values does not assess growth, developmental state, nutrition or appropriate clinical care.
Qualify an explicitly selected growth-chart reference.
When to use this tool
Use Pediatric Growth Reference Key when you already have chartCode, referencePopulation, referenceVersion and need to qualify an explicitly selected growth-chart reference.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter chartCode, referencePopulation, referenceVersion. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read token. Use the output convention below.
Enter chartCode, referencePopulation, referenceVersion using the field constraints below. Encode these values, in exactly that order, as a JSON array and return the serialized array as text in token. String values are preserved without trimming or external terminology lookup.1

| referencePopulation | Reference Population | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| referenceVersion | Reference Version | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |

| token | Token | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
{
"input": {
"chartCode": "CH17",
"referencePopulation": "Population A",
"referenceVersion": "v3"
},
"output": {
"token": "[\"CH17\",\"Population A\",\"v3\"]"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- The result records supplied values without providing centiles or choosing a clinical reference population. Sources and asserted relationships are not independently authenticated.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Consult the original sample, measurement-position and reference-chart records before combining pediatric data. Keep supplied age units, offered/residual volumes and caregiver roles explicit; local conversions and labels do not provide a growth or nutrition assessment.
