Description Usage Arguments Value References Examples
The category of body mass index (BMI) for overweight woman, calculated by dividing weight in kilograms by squared height in meters was defined according to the IOM/NRC and WHO criterion (overweight: BMI 25-29.9 kg/m^2). According to the IOM/NRC guidelines adequate total GWG was classified as total weight gain of 7-11.5 kg for overweight women. In accordance with IOM inadequate GWG was defined as GWG below and excessive GWG as values above the recommended GWG.

|
prevalence |
Probability of disease (values between 0 and 1), in this case probability for excessive or inadequate GWG in the population where the mother comes from for overweight women (a priori risk) (examples can be obtainted from http://www.en.soziale-paediatrie.med.uni-muenchen.de/research/tools/index.html) |
month |
Month of pregnancy (values between 2 and 10). One month was defined as 4 weeks, e.g. month 2 was defined as pregnancy week 5 up to and including 9 |
weight_gain |
Weight gain of woman in the specific month of pregnancy (values: "excessive" or "inadequate") |
path |
Path the data is located |
month |
Month of pregnancy |
prevalence |
Prevalence for excessive or inadequate GWG in the population where the mother comes from (a priori risk) |
PPVexcessive |
The PPVexcessive gives information whether the total GWG at the end of pregnancy will be excessive in case of exceed the week specific cut-off value (test positive) for a special month for overweight women |
NPVexcessive |
The NPVexcessive gives information if the total GWG at the end of pregnancy will not be excessive (adequate or inadequate) in case of not having an excessive weight gain (test negative) for overweight women |
PPVinadequate |
The PPVinadequate gives information whether the total GWG at the end of pregnancy will be inadequate in case of fall below the week specific cut-off value for a special month for overweight women |
NPVinadequate |
The NPVinadequate gives information if the total GWG at the end of pregnancy will not be inadequate (adequate or excessive) in case of not having an inadequate weight gain for overweight women |
