ASD autism spectrum disorder, PVL periventricular leukomalacia

aFamilies may report more than one indication. Ordered by percent of families reporting indication (only in child donor)

bAdjusted using inverse probability weighting based on respondent age, age of child, and number of cord blood units

cCongenital heart defect appeared only on a subset of the surveys of which 12,366 were returned. Therefore, we calculated the prevalence based on this lower denominator

dThe sum of the percentages for all specific indications is more than the total number of regenerative indications divided by the sampled population because the prevalence for congenital heart defect was calculated on a subset of families

ePercent represents unique families reporting at least one regenerative indication divided by total unique families responding. The total is lower than the sum of regenerative indications (families with more than 1 regenerative indication were counted once)
