Table 1. Participant and sampling characteristics.
Characteristic Median (IQR), N | US Cases (N = 89^) | US Controls (N = 69) | P-value (cases vs controls) | Chilean Cases (N = 108) | Chilean Controls (N = 105) | P-value (cases vs controls) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Age* (years) | 28 (25–33) N = 89 | 28 (25–31) N = 69 | 0.2154 | 23 (20–30) N = 108 | 22 (20–27) N = 105 | 0.2731 |
Gestational age (weeks) at reported onset of symptoms | 31 (28–34) N = 75 | Not applicable | 33 (30–35) N = 104 | Not applicable | ||
# previous births | 1 (0–2) N = 86 | 1 (0–2) N = 69 | 0.5746 | 1 (0–2) N = 107 | 0(0–1) N = 105 | 0.0187 |
Gestational age at study blood draw | 36 (34–37) N = 69 | 36 (33–38) N = 69 | 0.6619 | 38 (37–39) N = 105 | 39 (39–40) N = 105 | <0.0001 |
*Age at blood draw, or for retrospectively enrolled women, reported age during the ICP-affected study pregnancy. ^Data for 89 of 90 US cases is included, as due to sample labelling uncertainty, one sample could have come from either of 2 enrolled affected women, so data from that sample is excluded here. Maternal age was analyzed using the t-test, and other variables, using the Mann-Whitney test.
