A height scale for the determination of drug dosages in children of the Madang area was applied to children from the Nipa area of the Papua New Guinea highlands. In only 13 out of 1314 children (1.0%) did the use of the height scale result in drug doses below the recommended minimum dose per kilogram of bodyweight. The scale can therefore be used safely for highlands children in areas where facilities for accurate weighing are not available.
将马当地区用于确定儿童药物剂量的身高量表应用于巴布亚新几内亚高地尼帕地区的儿童。在1314名儿童中，只有13名（1.0%）使用该身高量表得出的药物剂量低于每千克体重建议的最小剂量。因此，在没有精确称重设备的地区，该量表可安全用于高地儿童。
