Data shown are number of outcomes (percent)

Odds ratio compared to the primigravid group [95% confidence interval] were calculated after adjusting for maternal age, race, education, smoking, marital status, BMI at enrollment, and study drug (placebo or vitamin C and E). Odds ratio in bold typeface are statistically significant.

SAB=spontaneous abortion, PROM=premature rupture of membranes

*

Excludes 110 women whose current pregnancy resulted in SAB or IAB (87 primigravid, 17 one SAB, 6 two or more SABs).
