Self-reported and misclassification of smoking status.

*Only variables shown in the table were entered in the logistic equation.

†Non-smokers: women who reported that they did not smoke and were found to have urinary cotinine levels of less than 50 ng/ml in the reference group.

‡Smokers: those who reported smoking.

§Misclassification: those who claimed that they did not smoke but were found to have urinary cotinine levels above 50 ng/ml.

¶Both: c+d.

**p for trend.

††Only analysed with regard to misclassification, given the extremely strong association with smoking at the third trimester of pregnancy.

SHS, second-hand smoke.
