Oh, and I had forgotten one more source of inflation (no pun intended):
If you have any visits with raw BMIs > 140 recorded, those are almost
certainly artifactual, caused by using pounds instead of kilograms. I
would omit those before mapping to percentiles.

#210: Query by BMI percentile among children.
Comment (by nateapathy):
Hi all - we tested this out at Cerner for CMH's BMI data and our
breakdown
came out as follows. The first column is the BMI Percentile group
and the
second column is the count of patients that fit into each bucket.
We're
hesitant to implement since the 100th percentile is the third most-
populated group. Are other sites getting similar results?
