a

Logistic regression models were used to analyze the categorical variables.

b

Adjusted for gestational age, birthweight, small for gestational age, sex, multiple pregnancy, maternal age, gestational diabetes, gestational hypertension, preeclampsia or eclampsia, antenatal corticosteroids use, and magnesium sulfate use.
