Odds ratios indicate odds of developing outcome in period after versus period before July 2007, when smoke-free legislation was introduced. Primary models are adjusted for non-linear underlying time trends (via B-splines), month, maternal age, maternal marital status, sex, socioeconomic status, region, and urbanisation level and based on individual-level analysis of complete cases. Mortality models are furthermore adjusted for birth weight. For sensitivity analyses, model 1 is the complete case model with additional adjustment for parity, whereas in model 2 missing data for parity are imputed. OR = odds ratio; CI = confidence interval; SIDS = sudden infant death syndrome.
