Pediatric Echo Z-Score Calculator (PHN Model)

Use PHN pediatric model references to map BSA to Z-score bands and calculate measured-value Z-scores quickly.

The Pediatric Heart Network (PHN) model estimates expected structure sizes from BSA and reports Z-score ranges for pediatric echo interpretation.

Internal calculation units are centimeters, while displayed values are shown in millimeters for clinical readability.

BSA (m²)

Input

Allowed reference range: 0.15–2.50 m² (results still compute outside range with warnings).

Optional BSA from Height/Weight

Calculated BSA:

Methodology & interpretation notes

  • PHN reference model; internal unit is cm and displayed values are mm.
  • Z-score interpretation should consider growth stage, diagnosis, and serial trends.
  • Pediatric/adolescent reference use only; avoid direct adult extrapolation.
  • This calculator supports clinical assessment but does not replace physician judgment or institutional protocols.
