Mother’s Age (year), Mean ± SD 29 ± 5 26 ± 6 0.337 0.9 (0.7–1.1)
Gestational Age (week), Mean ± SD 38 ± 1 38 ± 1 0.692 1.2 (0.5–2.6)
Gestational Age 1.000

Column percentage. CI = confidence interval. SD = standard deviation.

Note: p-value was obtained by Fisher’s exact test for categorical variable or two sample t test for continuous variable. A correction of 0.5 was used to compute odds ratio in every cell that contains a zero.
