adjusted OR | 95%CI | p-value | Sum of positive coefficient | Sum of negative coefficient | ||
All congenital limb abnormalities | 0.85 | 0.72 | 1.02 | 0.073 | 0 | −0.16 |
All polydactylies | 0.92 | 0.72 | 1.17 | 0.497 | 0.03 | −0.12 |
All syndactylies | 0.83 | 0.63 | 1.11 | 0.207 | 0.02 | −0.20 |
The adjusted odds ratio are interpreted as the effect on limb abnormalities of increasing every one quantile unit of mixture exposure of Pb, Cd, Hg, Se, and Mn in quantile g-computation.
Adjusted for maternal age (categorical), maternal smoking (categorical), maternal alcohol intake (categorical), paternal smoking (categorical), infant sex.
