Notes:

*

Nagelkerke R2 = 0.252, Hosmer–Lemeshow P = 0.477, 95.5% correctly classified;

**

Nagelkerke R2 = 0.289, Hosmer–Lemeshow P = 0.568, 94.3% correctly classified. Collinearity absence was verified. Independent variables entered in the initial model were age of the mother, geographical origin, body mass index before pregnancy, education level, occupation, parity, delivery type, medical problem types during pregnancy (anemia, hypertension, gestational diabetes), weight gain during pregnancy, number of live children, delivery term, and exposure to medications and licit substances.

Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; OR, unadjusted odds ratio; AOR, adjusted odds ratio.
