| ARCHETYPE ID | openEHR-EHR-OBSERVATION.growth_velocity.v0 |
| Concept | Growth velocity |
| Description | The rate of growth, or change in growth measurements, over a period of time. |
| Use | To record the rate of growth for common measurements, such as body length/height, head circumference and body weight, over a known period of time. The growth velocity will usually be positive, especially in childhood, although there may be circumstances where it is neccessary to record a negative velocity, for example in situations of loss of height with age. |
| Misuse | Not to be used to record the actual point-in-time measurements for body length/height, head circumference and body weight. Use the appropriate OBSERVATION archetypes for this purpose - OBSERVATION.height, OBSERVATION.head_circumference or OBSERVATION.body_weight. Not to be used to record the actual change in measurements over actual, identified time periods for body length/height, head circumference and body weight. Use the interval event model and the 'Change' mathematical function in appropriate OBSERVATION archetypes for this purpose - OBSERVATION.height, OBSERVATION.head_circumference or OBSERVATION.body_weight. |
| Purpose | To record the rate of growth for common measurements, over a known period of time. |
