a In each step variables entered were all which had p-value of < 0.1 in univariable analysis including maternal age although p-value was slightly above 0.1 (0.106). The lowest risk category in each group was used as a reference. Results are presented for all variables which were significant at least once in any of the three steps.
Model A, first step; adjusted for pre pregnancy factors
Model B, second step; variables in model A plus conditions in pregnancy, labor and delivery
Model C, third step; variables in model B plus neonatal factors
