a

All estimates and uncertainty intervals rounded to nearest multiple of five.

b

Posterior estimates for the summary OR estimated using Bayesian meta-analyses.

c

Attributable fraction estimated based on race-specific estimates of the prevalence of diabetes. Uncertainty intervals estimated via Monte Carlo sampling

d

Estimated by multiplying the attributable fraction by half of the estimated prevalence.

CHD, congenital heart defect; CrI, credible interval; PGDM, pregestational diabetes mellitus; UI, uncertainty interval.
