Age group definitions used in Lexicomp (unless otherwise specified within the monograph)
  • Neonate: 0 to 28 days of age
    • Gestational age (GA)[1]: Number of weeks from the first day of the mother's last menstrual period (LMP) until birth. For methods of assessing GA (eg, New Ballard score) refer to UpToDate topic review of postnatal assessment of gestational age.
    • Postnatal age (PNA)[1]: Chronological age since birth.
    • Postmenstrual age (PMA)[1]: PMA is calculated as gestational age plus postnatal age (PMA = GA + PNA).
    • Preterm neonateΔ[2]: Neonate born at <37 weeks gestational age.
    • Term neonate[2]: Neonate born at 37 weeks 0 days to 41 weeks 6 days (average ~40 weeks) gestational age.
  • Infant: >28 days to 1 year of age
  • Children: 1 to 12 years of age
  • Adolescent: 13 to 18 years of age
  • Adult: >18 years of age
  • Geriatric: ≥65 years of age
NOTE: Country code definitions used in the "Brand Names: International" field of Lexicomp are provided in a separate table available in the international brand names field of each monograph.

* Additional abbreviations used and defined within a specific drug monograph or text piece may only apply to that text.
