Abbreviation: RR, risk ratio.

a

Adjusted for all variables in the table and maternal age, race/ethnicity, education, parity, smoking during pregnancy, diabetes (chronic or gestational), hypertension (chronic or gestational), state of residence, and year of birth. Regression models account for clustering of infants within a live birth delivery and clustering of births among mothers.

b

P values adjusted using the Holm-Bonferroni method.

c

Adjusted for all variables in the table and maternal age, race/ethnicity, education, parity, smoking during pregnancy, diabetes (chronic or gestational), hypertension (chronic or gestational), state of residence, and year of birth. Regression models account for clustering of births among mothers.
