Profil zur Dokumentation des Kopfumfangs (okzipital-frontal) eines Patienten. Besonders relevant bei seltenen Erkrankungen mit Auswirkungen auf das Schädelwachstum, z.B. Skelettdysplasien, neurologische Erkrankungen. Erbt vom deutschen Basisprofil für den Vitalparameter Kopfumfang.

This profile describes the measurement of the head circumference (occipital-frontal) of a patient. The head circumference is particularly relevant for rare diseases affecting skull growth, e.g. skeletal dysplasias, neurological diseases or syndromes with macro-/microcephaly.

Clinical relevance

Measuring the head circumference is an important parameter for:

  • Skeletal dysplasias: diseases such as achondroplasia often show characteristic head proportions
  • Neurological diseases: macrocephaly or microcephaly as a leading symptom
  • Syndromes: many rare syndromes have characteristic head measurements as a diagnostic criterion
  • Developmental disorders: monitoring of skull growth over time

Coding

The profile uses the LOINC code 9843-4 (Head Occipital-frontal circumference) for the standardized coding of the measurement.

Search parameters are declared module-wide in the CapabilityStatement — machine-readable and complete there, rather than repeated by hand per profile.

Example instances are linked in the "Examples" section of the profile page.
