The calibration of the nomogram was measured by the bootstrap (1000
resample) method. Analysis of the results showed that the predicted
probability obtained from the bootstrap correction was not significantly
different with the actual probabilities of preterm birth (p = 0.015 and
p=0.013, respectively), implying that the nomograms predicting PTB
< 37 weeks and PTB < 34 weeks were well-calibrated.
