Data are presented as number (percentage), unless otherwise specified.

CI, confidence interval; HTN-P, gestation hypertension; GDM, gestational diabetes mellitus; LGA, large for gestational age; OR, odds ratio; SD, standard deviation; SGA, small for gestational age.

a

Adjusted for whether participant had the condition in a previous pregnancy;

b

GDM analysis excludes 1 person who had type 2 diabetes at randomization;

c

Includes hypertension with onset during pregnancy and preeclampsia or eclampsia;

d

Data on congenital anomalies, hypoglycemia, and respiratory morbidity are missing for 2 mother-offspring pairs;

e

Includes miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy before 20 weeks’ gestation; women with more than 1 episode of pregnancy loss were only counted once;

f

Women with more than 1 hospitalization or fracture were only counted once;

g

Measure of association is different because newborn weights are continuous;

h

Adjusted for gestational age and sex using methods of Oken et al21;

i

Birthweight >90th percentile for age;

j

Birthweight <10th percentile for age.
