jumping in the middle… birtweight is important in itself as it is associated with prematurity, smoking,preg induced hypertension, IUGR and other issues.
LBW may also be a predictor of behavioral and academic issues later in life if i recall correctly. even as a practioner of the forgotten red headed stepchild specialty [psych] i ask sbout birthwt for kids.
as for graphing, i would think it would be part of a 0 - 5y chart or something similar. as a value floating about in the ether, i would agree bithweight should b put into some sort of perspective or relationship w other parameters.
fwiw… Dr. Linda

I did not want to be offensive, let me make this clear.
Question: What is the use of birth-weight if you have no other graphical figures to compare? Is there a place where this new part of OpenEMR can be tested?
Can this birth weight and data be incorporated in the Vitals result table without taking extra steps?
I did not implement that birth-weight is of no value! I only want to make clear that birth-weight as such without any extra information is of very limited value.
