a

Patterns were only among women with complete smoking information in all trimesters: 1,144 women were missing smoking for the first and second trimesters, and 1,249 for the third trimester (total missing = 2,345). Adjusted models included parity, maternal education, prepregnancy body mass index, maternal age (linear and quadratic terms), and any diabetes, and accounted for multiple observations per woman.

b

Preeclampsia rates excluded women with gestational hypertension and model additionally adjusted for educational disparity.

c

Gestational hypertension rates excluded women with preeclampsia and model additionally adjusted for native language of grandparents.
