CI, confidence interval.
Women vaccinated in the first trimester and their unexposed matches had a mean follow-up of 6.3 months; for women vaccinated at 20 weeks or greater and their unexposed matches, mean follow-up was 2.4 months; for women vaccinated in any trimester and their unexposed matches, mean follow-up was 4.1 months.
All outcomes adjusted for receipt of medical care in the first trimester, hospitalization prior to vaccination or index date, and poverty; additional adjustments were outcome specific.
Also adjusted for diabetes, gestational diabetes
Also adjusted for proteinuria
Also adjusted for obesity
