These\n                    new charts were compared to studies carried out by Snijders and Nicolaides, the\n                    INTERGROWTH 21st Project, and the WHO Fetal Growth Charts.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Methods In this retrospective cross-sectional single-center study of\n                    12,972 low-risk pregnancies, biometric data between the 15th and 42nd weeks of\n                    gestation were evaluated. Only one examination per pregnancy was selected for\n                    statistical analysis. Descriptive analysis for the 5th, 50th, and 95th quantile\n                    was performed for each parameter as listed above. Regression models were used to\n                    fit the mean and the SD at each gestational age.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results Initially the reference curves for BPD, OFD, HC, AC, FL, and HL\n                    show a linear increase, which changes into a cubic increase towards the end of\n                    pregnancy. The results of this study show statistically noticeable differences\n                    from the percentile curves of the studies listed above.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusions The percentile curves in this study differ from the commonly\n                    used ones. The presented standard curves can be used as a reference in prenatal\n
