Associations with the inter-recti distance at gestation week 37: a prospective cohort study among healthy pregnant women
No sociodemographic characteristics, co-existing health conditions or other significant related factors present before gestation week 20 other than baseline IRD was significantly associated with IRD at gestation week 37, with the clinical implication that for each 1 mm increase in baseline IRD, there was an average increase of 0.8 mm in IRD at gestation week 37. Approximately 38% of the variance in IRD at gestation week 37 is explained by baseline IRD and other included variables.
