Associations between elevated leptin dichotomized above the median and preeclampsia subtypes

Leptin Concentration Outcome group
N(%)		 Odds ratio (95% CI)
All preeclampsia Normotensive controls
Leptin elevated > median 246(57.2) 127(40.1) 1.2 (1.0–2.0)
Preterm preeclampsia Normotensive controls
Leptin elevated > median 48(59.3) 127(40.1) 1.8 (1.1–3.0)
Term preeclampsia Normotensive controls
Leptin elevated > median 174(56.6) 127(40.1) 1.3 (1.0–2.0)

Odds ratios were calculated by logistic regression. Models were adjusted for maternal BMI, gestational age at blood draw, maternal age, smoking, and socio-occupational status.
