Association between the negative domains score and log cord blood IgE stratified by low (< 0.20 μg/g) versus (≥0.20 μg/g) high prenatal dust mite allergen exposure and maternal atopic status†
| N | High Dust Mite | Low Dust Mite | Interaction β estimate (p-value) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| β estimate for log cord IgE (p-value) | β estimate for log cord IgE (p-value) | |||
| All Mothers | 380 | 0.10 (0.01) | 0.12 (0.07) | −0.01 (0.85) |
| Atopic‡ Mothers | 127 | 0.21 (0.002) | −0.04 (0.73) | 0.25 (0.06) |
| Non-atopic Mothers | 253 | −0.01 (0.87) | 0.17 (0.03) | −0.17 (0.05) |
All models are adjusted for maternal age, race, smoking status and education, and child’s gender, birth weight for gestational age and season of birth.
