The primary outcomes and secondary outcomes?

0 In the context below, does "primary outcomes" refer to "primary adverse pregnancy outcomes"? 02br
02br
00 Why is there "secondary outcomes" since it is just an experiment to "undergo 75-g oral glucose-tolerance testing at 24 to 32 weeks of gestation"? I think that it may be only one "outcomes" . It is "adverse pregnancy outcomes"! 02br
