National growth charts refer to both growth charts based on data collected before 1990 as well as to recent national growth charts;
As the CDC recommends the use of the WHO growth standards for children under the age of 2 years, mean length SDS values based on the CDC for children younger than 2 years are not reported;
These values represent the average length SDS of children with ESRD from all European countries together.
