Drug dosage formula need to come back!
As of version 3.0.5, the following formulas were removed:
Calvert
Corticosteroids Converter
NAC Dosing
Opioid Converter
Pediatric Resuscitation Doses
Dose Calculator (was planned for future versions)Apparently they were forced by Apple to remove them to comply with the App Store policy...
However, Epocrates and many other medical apps have drug dosage calculators. Why then should a great app like MedCalc not be allowed to have drug dose calculators?
I don't know the details of why the formulas had to be removed, but vote if you want the formulas back!See here:

STS (cardiovascular surgery risk)
STS = Society of Thoracic Surgeons. Companion Score of the Euroscore. Predicted Risk of Mortality (PROM).
170 votesI’m afraid that we’re unable to implement STS for now. It is copyrighted and would require us to become “certified STS vendors” which is an absolutely ridiculous process: http://www.sts.org/sts-national-database/database-participants/how-become-participant

Pediatric Growth Charts
We get a lot of requests for growth charts, but adding a complete charts solution is outside of the scope of MedCalc. A standalone growth charts app done by me at Boston Children's Hospital is now available for free:
http://p2.github.com/growth-charts/index/However, we are considering adding percentile/Z-score calculators.

Septic shock scores for refractory septic shock definition in children
Hi, We have just published an article about the definition of refractory septic shock in children.
The article is open access on intensive care medicine journal
http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs00134-016-4574-2I would love if you could implement both scores used in this article (little like the qSOFA for adult sepsis). The bedside score is similar to the qSOFA, while the computed needs your help to be calculated.
Thank you
5 votesGreat, thank you, I will take a look!
