  • Description:
    At a workshop convened by the Division of Health Examination Statistics, NCHS, held on December 13–14, 1992, a set of near-unanimous recommendations was made concerning details of the proposed revision of the 1977 NCHS/CDC growth charts. At that Workshop, there was considerable discussion concerning the possible exclusion of data for low birthweight (LBW) infants when the charts for children ages birth–3 years are revised. This Low Birthweight Workshop was held at NCHS and in College Park, MD, on October 4–5, 1994. The intent of this Workshop was to provide an opportunity for a free exchange of opinions, that, in combination, would help NCHS staff to make a decision regarding the possible exclusion of data from LBW infants during the revision of the 1977 NCHS/CDC Growth Charts. Consequently, the Workshop participants considered a wide range of topics and did not attempt to reach a consensus or to make firm recommendations.
