Table 4 How to interpret direction of outcomes in summary tables
Direction of outcome | PCC Outcomes | Labor and Delivery | Perinatal | Maternal Mental Health |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Positive (+) | Improved the level of PCC | Decreased obstetric interventions | Decreased poor perinatal outcome (less pre-term birth, higher Apgar scores) | Improved mental health |
Negative (−) | Decreased the level of PCC | Increased interventions | Increased poor perinatal outcome | Worsened mental health |
No difference (=) | No change to the level of PCC | No change to interventions | No change to poor perinatal outcome | No change to mental health |
