Illustrative analyses covering the number of times each of the six overarching themes were cited, the mean bean allocation counts for each theme, the mean postnatal scores for each theme and the mean satisfaction and hybrid ‘satisfaction*bean count’ scores are described in the supplementary file ‘Additional quantitative analysis’.However, as previously stated, these analyses are merely illustrative of the potential of the PaGES Index.
