How to Enter Gestational Age at Birth for Babies with History of Prematurity

To enter the gestational age of babies, SigmaMD offers the possibility of setting up the gestational period of the patient. With the gestational period informed, the system will automatically calculate the corrected age of the baby on growth charts.

To enter the gestational period, we begin by opening the Patient Chart. There, we will find the Demographics area, on the left side of the screen, and select the Edit demographics button.

We will then be able to find a toggle called Set gestation. We want to toggle it on.

This will make two new fields appear. Weeks and Days. You must use them to enter the correct gestational period of the baby.

Finally, once the gestational period is set, you must select the Save button.

You will then receive a message at the top right corner of the screen indicating that your changes were made successfully. Also, you will be able to see the gestational period at all times in the Demographics of the baby.
