Ethnicity, n (%) | Preterm cohort A (n = 269) | Term-born (n = 201) | 95%CI for difference (%)† | Combined heterogenous/rare homozygous genotypes, n (%; 95%CI)* |
Asian/Oriental | 27 (10) | 34 (17) | −13 to −0.5 | NF |
Black/African | 6 (2.2) | 4 (2.0) | −2.4 to 2.9 | 2 (20; 3 to 56) |
Caucasian/European | 176 (65) | 145 (72) | −15 to 1.7 | 32 (10; 6.9 to 13) |
First Nations | 34 (13) | 2 (1.0) | 7.5 to 16 | 3 (10; 2 to 23) |
Indian/Pakistani | 10 (3.7) | 8 (4.0) | −3.8 to 3.4 | 3 (20; 4 to 41) |
Latin American | 3 (1.1) | 5 (2.5) | −3.8 to 1.1 | NF |
Middle Eastern | 5 (1.9) | 3 (1.5) | −2.0 to 2.7 | NF |
undeclared | 8 (3.0) | 0 | 1.0 to 5.0 | 1 (13; 0 to 53) |
Differences considered statistically significant are underlined.
Combined heterogenous/rare homozygous genotype includes both preterm and infants born at term. NF = none found. The term “First Nations” refers to Canadian Indigenous Nations as defined by the Government of Canada.
