Results from an ordinal logistic regression model of maternal smoking during pregnancy (n = 44,745). Odds ratios indicate the magnitude of risk for being in a higher category of maternal smoking (0, 1–9, 10–19, or ≥20 cigarettes/day). The model included Collaborative Perinatal Project mothers of liveborn singleton offspring with complete data on the covariates shown. Variance estimates were adjusted for the presence of multiple siblings per family using generalized estimating equations.
