(The contribution of each factor was measured by the percentage reduction in the odds ratio of epilepsy compared to Model B by using formula (OR Model B – OR Model C/D/E/F/G)/(OR Model B –1).

Model A = Adjusted for maternal epilepsy.

Model B = Adjusted for Model A+maternal age and parity.

Model C = Adjusted for Model B+mode of delivery.

Model D = Adjusted for Model B+Apgar score ≤6.

Model E = Adjusted for Model B+ART.

Model F = Adjusted for Model B+Major congenital anomalies.

Model G = Adjusted for Model B+umbilical cord length.
