aTotal SB: 26; number excludes one woman who was on Option A at the time of delivery

ball data are bivariate, Pearson’s X2 asymptotic two- sided p- value, apart from where indicated differently

cTotal PTD: 116; number excludes three women on Option A and one HIV positive woman without ARV treatment

dTotal SGA: 47; number excludes two women on Option A and one woman with undocumented PMTCT regimen

eBivariate Fisher’s Exact test two- sided p- value

fOne woman on Option B+ excluded due to missing drug initiation date
