# Positive results of OR are not received postnatal care regularly. An OR ranging from 0.9 to 1.1 indicates that the public health services in the two groups are equal. A value of 1 represents perfect equality. ORs ranging from 0.7 to 0.8 or from 1.2 to 1.4 indicate relative equal. ORs ranging from 0.4 to 0.6 or from 1.5 to 2.9 indicate relatively unequal. ORs beyond 0.3 or 3.0 indicate totally unequal.
