Table 2.

The effect of maternal CO exposure on total number of early gestational demise/late gestational death

EGD: early gestational demise LGD: late gestational death RR: relative risk

CI: confidence interval

Statistical Analysis: Chi squared test, using the fisher exact method to compare EGD or LGD to total implantation sites - EGD or LGD and analysis of variance for live fetuses/litter (*p < 0.05).

**Equations: EGD (%): Total EGD/(Total Implantation Sites- EGD)*100, LGD (%): Total LGD/[(Total Implantation Sites-(EGD + LGD)]*100
