GINDEX: A prenatal care index determined by combining measures of the month or trimester prenatal care began, the number of
prenatal visits, and the gestational age of the infant/fetus at the time of birth. The GINDEX includes gestational age over 36 weeks, and
number of prenatal visits greater than nine to impute adequacy of prenatal care.
Adequate or Better: Prenatal care started in the 1st trimester and the woman had an adequate number of visits.
Intermediate: Prenatal care started in the 1st or 2nd trimester and the woman had an intermediate range of visits.
Inadequate or None: No prenatal care or the prenatal care started in the 3rd trimester or the woman had an inadequate range of visits,
regardless of when prenatal care began.
