"Crude" incdicates univariate analyses and "Adjusted" indicates all variables in the model; Subjects with preterm birth were excluded in the model where threatened abortion was dependent variable; Similarly, subjects with threatened abortion were excluded in the model where preterm birth was dependent variable.
