Non-DIBS cases were defined as any cases of schizophrenia with available IL-8 data who were part of the larger PDS cohort, but not ascertained in the present study.
**Information was incomplete for 8 non-DIBS cases on maternal education, for 1 non-DIBS case on gestational length, and for 1 non-DIBS case on maternal and child race. For 3 DIBS gravidas maternal race was incomplete; therefore this variable was extrapolated from child's race for these gravidas.
