These plotting tools on these Russell-Silver Syndrome Growth Charts are based on the Center for Disease Control federally authorized growth charts designed by Ernest m. Post, M.D. Russell-Silver Syndrome stature curves were added by MAGIC and are an approximation based on data from the Wollman et al study "Growth & Symptoms in S-RS: A Review of the Basis of 386 Patients", Euro.Jrl of Pediatrics, 1985. NOTE: European name of same disorder: Silver-Russell Syndrome.
The 4 categories (listed at the bottom of this page) are links to excel spreadsheets which will help you track the growth and developement for stature, weight and head circumference of RSS / SGA children.
Some aspects of these excel workbooks are protected against accidental changes. If you are ever asked for a password before making such a change, use the password, "hormones".
DIRECTIONS FOR ADDING YOUR CHILD'S DATA:
1. Go to the "Patient" worksheet by simply clicking on the tab at the bottom of the worksheet that reads "Patient Data"
2. Enter information in all of the cells that are shaded grey (such as birthdate, exam dates, measurements)
The data you entered will be plotted on the chart. VERY IMPORTANT---All data must be entered using centimeters and kilograms. [ 1 pound=.455 kilograms; 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters] Here is a link to a website converter if you would like to use it-click.
DIRECTIONS FOR READING YOUR CHILD'S GROWTH CURVES:
Simply click onthe tabs at the bottom of the screen (e.g., "GraphBoysWeight")
DIRECTIONS FOR PRINTING GRAPHS:
1. Go to the desired worksheet. Choose File/Print Preview.
2. If the graph does not fill most of the page, you need to Close the Preview and "Select" the graph by clicking on its edge.
3. The charts are not WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get). To see what you'll be printing choose File/Print Preview. Keep in mind that the English scales are not precise because of the WYSIWYG problem and due to variations among printers.
4. If you need to change the printing margins, be sure to check the alignment of the English scales.
DIRECTIONS FOR EDITING THE CHART:
Note: An English scale is available using a second "chart" that is "grouped" with the main chart.
1. To make any changes you must remove the "Protection" by choosing Tools/Protection. When asked for the password, enter "Hormones".
2. Before starting your edits "Ungroup" the chart from the table. To do this:
* Right click on the top border of the chart. Choose Grouping and Ungroup
* Click somewhere off to the side of the charts
* Click on the top or left border of the chart
3. Click on the chart feature you want to change. Sometimes a right click is needed. (If you wish to remove my name, click on it and press Delete.)
4. To make the chart(s) printable again, you will need to regroup. To do this:
* Click off to the side (anyplace)
* Click just to the right of the English scale
* Hold the shift key and click on the top border of the chart
* Right click in the same place and choose Grouping then Regroup
5. It's a good idea to restore the Protection by choosing Tools/Protection.
