Notes: *p <0.05; **p <0.01; ¶p <0.001. NLR, PLR, and CRP: Model (M)1 = Pearson correlation without any adjustments. M2 = NLR adjusted with maternal BMI and maternal FPG; PLR adjusted with maternal BMI, maternal FPG, maternal age, and maternal parities, CRP adjusted with maternal BMI, maternal FPG, maternal age, and maternal parity.
Abbreviations: BMI, Body Mass index (kg/m2); G0, fasting plasma glucose (mmol/L); G2, 2-hour post oral glucose tolerant test plasma glucose (mmol/L); NLR, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio; PLR, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio; CRP, C-reactive protein; HOMA2-IR, Homeostasis Model Assessment-2-Insulin resistance; QUICKI, Quantitative Insulin Sensitivity Check Index.
