a

Represents the unvaccinated and the vaccinated against seasonal influenza only; 385 vaccinated against pandemic H1N1 were excluded from the analysis (including 20 PTD and 32 SGA).

b

This represents the per cent preterm birth within our analytic cohort, not the risk of PTD among all women surveyed during study years (7.2 %;153/2136).

c

Adjusted for propensity score.

d

This represents the per cent SGA within our analytic cohort, not the prevalence of SGA among all women surveyed during study years (10.6 %; 232/2136).

PTD, preterm delivery; HR, hazard ratio; CI, confidence interval; OR, odds ratio; SGA, small for gestational age according to reference birthweight percentiles.
