iss-ah-predictor

Blum et al. [1] developed a set of algorithms for the prediction of adult height (AH) in patients with idiopathic short stature (ISS), based on a German-Dutch cohort. The iss-ah-predictor is a convenient Perl implementation of these algorithms.

Depending of the amount of available patient properties, a specific set of parameters is used to calculate AH. The following properties are used in the algorithms:

| property | unit | LOINC code | | -------------------------------------- | ------------ | -------------------------------------| | chronological age | years | 30525-0 | | body height at baseline | cm | 3137-7 | | Tanner target height [2] | cm | | | mother height | cm | 83846-6 | | father height | cm | 83845-8 | | bone age | years | 85151-9 | | birth weight | kg | 8339-4 | | sex | male, female | 46098-0 |
