[2025-10-01T17:54:59.284717] [PI reasoning] **Searching for Ponderal Index info**

I'm looking to define the Ponderal Index (PI) in neonatology, which is calculated using weight in grams multiplied by 100, divided by length in centimeters cubed. Alternatively, it can be weight in kilograms divided by the cube of height in meters. Option B matches, as it describes weight in kilograms divided by height in cubic meters. Now, I need citations. I think I should search literature for relevant neonatal texts that cover the PI formula.
