a

Overall percent of samples with detectable levels of cytokine, and mean (standard deviation) cytokine levels from all women with cytokine data across all time points (n = 97, total samples = 710)

b

Mean (standard deviation) cytokine levels from all women with cytokine data averaged over (up to) 9 time points for each woman

c

Within each woman, person-centered values for each cytokine were calculated by subtracting her mean cytokine values (averaged across all her time points) from each of her corresponding cytokine observations; 25th and 75th percentiles of person-centered cytokine values are shown for all women with cytokine data

d

NI = not included in analyses due to low detectability
