Examination of potential interaction effects between maternal smoking and preeclampsia and gestational hypertension combined, preeclampsia, or gestational hypertension, and fetal growth

Analysis adjusted for age (continuous) and BMI (continuous)

In model 1, preeclampsia and gestational hypertension subjects were combined into one category and compared to controls

Referent groups: smoking (y/n) - nonsmokers; (Preeclampsia + gestational hypertension) - controls;
