  1. 1 Denominator for calculation of rates included only those women who were expected for each assessment. Specifically, women who became pregnant again before their next assessment was due were excluded from the calculation of the above rates. In addition, as noted in the methods section, women who enrolled after 9/1/06 would not have been eligible for the full compliment of assessments; if the study period ended before a woman was a due for her next assessment, she is not included in the denominator for the calculation of the rates pertaining to that assessment.
