a

Among 660 women who had urine samples available, 184 had data from all three visits, 257 had data from two visits, and 219 had data from one visit

b

specific gravity corrected concentration

c

Among 842 women who had blood samples available, 341 had data from both visits, and 501 had data from one visit

d

Among 403 women who had both urine and blood samples available, 106 had data from both visits, and 297 had data from one visit

e

specific gravity corrected urinary concentration was used to calculate the ratio.
