Catch-up growth energy and protein (API key)
POST /paediatric/catch-up · API key required
Weight-age method: catch-up kcal/kg/day = reference kcal/kg for the weight-age x ideal weight for length/height / actual weight, and the same for protein g/kg/day. The ideal weight is ideal_weight_kg, or for a child under 5 years with height_cm the WHO median weight-for-length/height is read from who_weight_for_length_height. Also gives the BMR x growth-failure stress factor (1.5-2) estimate, percent of ideal weight and the reference velocity. Severe wasting needs a stabilisation protocol first.
