title: Early prediction of individual serum total estriol curves in pregnancy.
abstract: Investigating 60 individual serum total estriol (S-E3) courses from normal pregnancies, we found individual S-E3 courses parallel with the general mean, but with half the standard deviation. Thus one can predict the individual S-E3 course, which may function as a reference for every S-E3 estimation later on. A S-E3 decrease of more than 33 per cent from the individual mean is statistically significant at the 2.5 per cent level.
