Table 2. The effect of exposure on the volume of fetal organs was assessed using a mixed model ANCOVA.
Volumes | p-values | |
Exposure (Main Effect) | Exposure×Visit | |
Brain | 0.020 | 0.079 |
Lung | 0.018 | 0.166 |
Kidney | <0.001 | 0.001 |
Liver | 0.106 | 0.152 |
Placenta | 0.022 | 0.685 |
Total Fetal | 0.003 | 0.009 |
Percentage Brain | 0.051 | 0.473 |
Percentage Lung | 0.564 | 0.735 |
Percentage Kidney | 0.04 | 0.595 |
Percentage Liver | 0.867 | 0.919 |
Each independent analysis included one within-subject variable of visit and one between-subject variable of exposure to maternal cigarette smoking, with four covariates.
