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.
