| Note: CI, confidence intervals; GA, gestational age; Log, logarithm; NO2, nitrogen dioxide; O3, ozone; SB, standardized beta; SV, significant variable. aModel 1: Exposure to both pollutants, controlling for gestational age of fetus. bModel 2: Exposure to both pollutants, controlling for gestational age of fetus, body mass index (BMI), parity, smoking, and placental location. cModel 3: Exposure to both pollutants, controlling for gestational age of fetus, BMI, parity, smoking, placental location, maternal alcohol consumption, maternal age, maternal ethnicity, and maternal education level. dModel 4: Exposure to both pollutants, controlling for gestational age of fetus, BMI, parity, placental location, maternal alcohol consumption, maternal age, maternal ethnicity, and maternal education level. | ||||
