Results of pregnancy outcomes predicting ASD and ADHD
Predictors | BASELINE | ADJUSTED | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
HR | 95% CI | HR | 95% CI | |
ASD | ||||
Preterm Birth | 1.53* | 1.40-1.67 | 1.47* | 1.34-1.62 |
Low Birth Weighta | 1.92* | 1.74-2.13 | 1.79* | 1.60-2.00 |
Small for Gestational Agea | 1.69* | 1.50-1.91 | 1.50* | 1.32-1.71 |
ADHD | ||||
Preterm Birth | 1.53* | 1.43-1.62 | 1.42* | 1.31-1.51 |
Low Birth Weighta | 1.90* | 1.77-2.04 | 1.73* | 1.61-1.87 |
Small for Gestational Agea | 1.71* | 1.57-1.86 | 1.58* | 1.45-1.73 |
Note: None of the cases missing birth weight or SGA had a diagnosis of ASD or ADHD, so missing birth weight and SGA were dropped from the analyses; ASD = Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD = Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, HR = hazard ratio, CI = confidence interval,
p<0.05. The baseline model controlled for offspring sex and parity. The adjusted model additionally controlled for all measured covariates.
