- Corrected age
- An age interpretation accounting for prematurity when assessing relevant developmental expectations, applied within the appropriate clinical context.
- Growth velocity
- The rate of change in body size over time, which helps distinguish a growth trajectory from a single percentile.
- Developmental regression
- Loss of a previously acquired skill, requiring assessment rather than interpretation as merely a late milestone.
- Preductal saturation
- An oxygen-saturation assessment from a site such as the right hand, relevant to the neonatal circulatory context.
- Surfactant
- A pulmonary material that reduces surface tension and contributes to alveolar stability, especially relevant in premature respiratory disease.
- Pneumatosis intestinalis
- Gas within the bowel wall, interpreted with the actual neonatal or gastrointestinal illness rather than as a stand-alone treatment plan.
- Conjugated bilirubin
- A bilirubin fraction whose elevation can indicate hepatobiliary disease and is not simply interchangeable with physiological neonatal jaundice.
- Duct-dependent circulation
- A circulatory situation in which an open arterial duct supports essential systemic, pulmonary or mixing physiology.
- Tetralogy of Fallot
- A congenital combination involving a ventricular septal defect, overriding aorta, right ventricular outflow obstruction and right ventricular hypertrophy.
- Bronchiolitis
- An infant small-airway illness typically managed with appropriate supportive care rather than a routine asthma medication regimen.
- Primary ciliary dyskinesia
- A disorder affecting motile-cilia function, assessed with appropriate specialist tests and not excluded by the absence of situs inversus.
- Oxidative burst
- A phagocyte antimicrobial mechanism assessed by relevant functional tests such as dihydrorhodamine flow cytometry.
- Cellular immunodeficiency
- A defect involving cell-mediated immune defense, whose severity and mechanism affect infection and live-vaccine assessment.
- Nephrotic syndrome
- A clinical pattern involving substantial protein loss and associated findings such as hypoalbuminemia and edema.
- Nephritic pattern
- A glomerular inflammatory presentation that can include hematuria, casts, hypertension and impaired kidney function.
- IgA vasculitis
- A small-vessel vasculitic disorder with potential skin, joint, gastrointestinal and renal manifestations requiring context-specific follow-up.
- Tissue transglutaminase antibody
- A serological test used in relevant celiac assessment, interpreted with gluten exposure and immunoglobulin status.
- Anion gap
- A calculated difference between measured electrolyte charges used to help interpret certain metabolic acid-base disturbances.
- Assent
- A developmentally appropriate expression of agreement by a child, considered alongside the applicable permission and legal framework.
- Care coordination
- Organization of relevant clinical, family and service information to reduce fragmentation and support a coherent individual care plan.
