# Growth Chart References

Growth Charts are built from reference data. A number of different datasets are available, and in the UK we currently use a hybrid of two of these - the UK90 dataset and the WHO dataset.
Growth Charts are built from reference data. A number of different datasets are available, and in the UK we currently use a hybrid of two of these - the British 1990 or UK 1990 dataset and the World Health Organization (WHO) dataset. The current UK charts are referred to as UK-WHO.

Datasets or Growth References are, in general, relating to the population of a geographical area (UK90, CDC) or are specific to a particular condition or disease state.

As part of this project we have attempted to catalogue the available datasets or growth references, internationally. The UK references are only usable under MRC license. The WHO or CDC data are freely available open data.

This is not an exhaustive list but the aim is to be a repository for all LMS references, not only for growth but for all other physiological parameters. This collection is incomplete at present, but we welcome submissions to the repository to build the collection - please send pull requests or contact us on [email protected].

The codebase we have built is capable of utilising any reference ro dataset, but there might need to be small configurations necessary to allow for the differences between them.

!!! info
We are working on a 'standard format' of JSON that will contain reference metadata as well as the LMS tables themselves, in a 'key-value' format that makes programmatic lookups consistent across different references. Along with the data file, we request the following: file name, parameters described, acknowledgement text, authors, publication / reference.
