a Calculated using Kaplan-Meier life table methods.
b 8 infants are missing data on birth weight and weight at 1 week visit.
c 18 infants are missing data on gestational weeks estimated at enrollment. Data suggested a systematic underestimation of gestation by 2–3 weeks. Thus we estimate that only 16.3% of births were preterm by conventional definitions of <37 weeks.
