1

Adjusted for the propensity for taking triptans during pregnancy, conditional on maternal age, pre-pregnancy BMI, reproductive history, marital status, maternal education, smoking or alcohol use during pregnancy, presence of depressive symptoms, pre-pregnancy triptan use, and co-medication use during pregnancy (acetaminophen, opioids, NSAIDs, antidepressants). PS-adjusted estimates are not IPC-weighted, and so differ slightly from those reported in Table 4.

2

Adjusted for the propensity for taking triptans during pregnancy (estimate from Table 3) and calibrated for migraine severity, migraine type, and attitude towards medication (BMQ Necessity and Concern scores), not including BMI and antidepressant exposure [inclusion of BMI and antidepressant use in PS did not result in substantial change in β estimates]
