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 parity, CRP adjusted with maternal BMI, maternal FPG, maternal age, and maternal parities.

Abbreviations: BPD, biparietal diameter (mm); AC, abdominal circumference (mm); FL, femur length (mm); EFW, estimated fetal weight (gram); AFI, amniotic fluid index (mm); HC, head circumference (mm); NLR, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio; PLR, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio; CRP, C-reactive protein (mg/L).
