Women had marginally better agreement for all perinatal outcomes and slightly higher kappa statistics for gestational hypertension with or without proteinuria, gestational diabetes and low birth weight at first-report (Table 3) compared to ever experienced (Table 4).
Univariate association with threshold or prethreshold treatment (Pre-ETROP and Post-ETROP, respectively) were assessed using t-tests or Wilcoxon tests for the following variables: EGA at birth, weight at birth, interval between birth and first examination, interval between birth and surgery, interval between first examination and surgery, and number of laser spots.
Statistically significant differences include age at birth, weight at birth, and the interval between birth and first examination.
"Some studies suggest the omega-3 fatty acids in fish and seafood are beneficial to fetal growth and birth weight," explains first author Laurence Guldner, an epidemiologist at the National Institute of Health and Medical Research, University of Rennes, "but others report no benefit or even a negative effect".
*Birth weight in second pregnancy minus birth weight in first pregnancy.
In calculations of birth weight, the birth weight of single births were included as well as birth weight of first child of duplex or triplex pregnancy.
The aim of the current study was to estimate genetic parameters for birth weight (BW), weaning weight (WW), yearling weight (YW), average daily gain from birth to weaning (ADG) and greasy fleece weight at first shearing (GFW), which are essential to design a selection programme for Turkish Merino sheep.
We categorized first births by sex and maternal birth weight and second births by sex and birth weight of the older sibling.
Mean birth weight for second twin was also calculated.
The change in weight [100 × (weight at second examination – weight at first examination)/weight at first examination)] between birth and term, between term and 3 months of corrected age and between 3 and 5 months of corrected age were then calculated.
