Growth Percentile format - MzP131
Posted: Dec 15, 2009
Okay........ now don't laugh at this question. I recently had to pull up another transcriptionist's report, and came across something I've never seen before. I couldn't find the formatting this MT used anywhere else, so I am wondering if any of you have. I always type "90th percentile", "56th percentile", etc. when peds are talking about growth charts. This MT typed "90%tile", "53%tile", etc. Is that actually accurate or even acceptable?
Thanks!
growth percentile...sm - babs
[ In Reply To ..]Now that's funny... :-)
I wouldn't see that as being even close to acceptable. Just me...
WHEW!!! - MzP131
[ In Reply To ..]THANK YOU!!! I've been doing this 17 years now, and I was thinking.......wow, I better get an updated style guide! ;o)
With the change in rules constantly... - babs
[ In Reply To ..]I wouldn't be a bit surprised if the BOS did update it to include that ridiculous term. One reason why I refuse to continue "updating." :-O
BOS 2: percentile - vrvr
[ In Reply To ..]percentile
Probability distribution. If a boyâs height is at the â50th percentile,â he is at the same height as 50% of boys his age.
Sometimes it is good to have a copy of the BOS.
Yes, great to have a copy... - babs
[ In Reply To ..]ONE copy, not four or five. ;-)
One copy of BOS 2 and 1 copy of BOS 3 will do!...nm - vrvr
