  2. aAdjusted for the other variables in the table. bA point was allocated to each variable according to its coefficient value. Each coefficient was divided by 0.547 (the lowest coefficient among the significant predictors, corresponding to gestational weight gain above recommendations) and rounded to the nearest integer
