a

Stratified estimates were generated using marginal probabilities from the fully adjusted model (model 3) plus an interaction between exposure and month of delay.

b

No prenatal infection is the reference.

c

Maternal SARS-CoV-2 infection following COVID-19 vaccination. Infection not preceded by vaccination is the reference.

d

Nonfebrile infection (≤38 °C) is the reference.
