Percentile distribution of height and bodyweight of pediatric patients admitted to intensive care unit. Percentile distribution of height (red lines) and bodyweight (green lines) were overdrawn on the growth charts for Japanese children (black lines, reference #2. The charts were reproduced with official permission of the Japanese Society for Pediatric Endocrinology from Isojima et al. Growth standard charts for Japanese children with mean and standard deviation (SD) values based on the year 2000 national survey. Clin Pediatr Endocrinol 25: 71–76, 2016. ©JSPE). The 1st (fine), 2nd (middle), 3rd (bold), 4th (middle), and 5th (fine) lines from the top indicate 97.5 percentile, 75.0 percentile, 50 percentile, 25 percentile and 2.5 percentile, respectively. Crude data is shown in Supplementary material 2.
