| aOR, adjusted odds ratio. aFor a 10-μg/m3 increase in NO2. Adjusted for study, city, intervention, infant sex, maternal age at birth, maternal smoking during pregnancy, environmental tobacco smoke in the home, birth weight, and parental atopy. bp-Values were corrected for multiple testing using the Bonferroni method. cp-Values for interaction were calculated based on the likelihood-ratio tests between models with and without interaction terms and were corrected for multiple testing using the Bonferroni method. | |||||||||||||||
