Note. Maternal age reflects age of mother when the target child was born, and values were rounded down to reflect years in integers. Sex of child was coded as follows: Female = 0, Male = 1. Bivariate relations with and among injury variables are not reported because of non-normal distributions of these variables, and the correlations between any two variables are underestimated when their distributions are dissimilar (Cohen et al., 2003).
