Worked calculation
The values below come from this tool's own example placeholders and are computed server-side with the formula shown on this page, so the arithmetic can be checked quickly. It demonstrates how to substitute values only — it is not clinical advice and not a real case.
| Chronological age | 20 weeks |
|---|---|
| Gestational age at birth | 30 weeks |
→Corrected age10weeks
- Weeks preterm：10 (40 − GA)
- ≈ Corrected age：2.3 months
- Note：Use corrected age for developmental assessment, typically until ~2 years.
