... appendix F Data Tables APPROACH TO GATHERING EVIDENCE In order to review the most relevant scientific literature available, the committee and staff conducted thorough searches of several online bibliographic databases, including Medline, Science Direct, and WorldCat/First Search. General searches on pregnancy, gestational weight gain, and outcomes of pregnancy were first conducted to identify primary literature.
