No, PUPPP is just a skin rash developed usually by first time mothers carrying a boy. Usually you will not get it on subsequent pregnancies or if you never had it for your first pregnancy, it's unlikely you will get it on a second. In a sense, its similar to chicken pox- you typically only get it once. I had PUPPP with my son who is now Ten months old and he is perfectly healthy and extremely intelligent. If your child has birth abnormalities- something else is more than likely the cause.

What is an example of correlation coefficient?

Correlation coefficient My understanding is: two variables as they relate to one another and how accurately you can predict their behavior to one another when together. Basically the strength of the linear association between two variables. When the variables have a tendency to go up and down together, this is a positive correlation coefficient. Variables with a tendency to go up and down in opposition, (one ends up with a high value and the other a low value) this is negatiove correlation coefficient. An example would be the amount of weight a mom gains during pregnancy and the birth weight of the baby
