Table 3.

Multivariable logistic regression models for birth outcomes (SGA, LGA and LBW)

SGA
aOR (95% CI)
LGA
aOR (95% CI)
LBW
aOR (95% CI)
BMI
 Underweight 1.49 (1.1, 2.2) * 1.38 (0.4, 4.1) 1.63 (1.1, 2.4) *
 Overweight 0.70 (0.5, 1.1) 3.04 (1.3, 6.9) * 0.88 (0.5, 1.3)
Obese 0.72 (0.4, 1.3) 3.57(1.3, 9.6) * 1.14 (0.6, 2.0)
MUAC
 Malnourished 1.64 (1.2, 2.3) * 0.62 (0.2, 1.6) 1.63 (1.2, 2.3) *

*p-value< 0.05, aOR-Adjusted Odds Ratio

Both BMI and MUAC performed similarly and had a poor AUC of < 0.7 in predicting SGA. (Refer to Fig. 2) as well as LBW and LGA (refer to Figs. 1 and 2 in the supplement)
