a

Models 1 and 2 were performed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression, respectively.

b

Model 2 is adjusted for maternal age, race/ethnicity, education, marital status, parity, gestational age, smoking, alcohol use and other chronic conditions (if diabetes, adjusted for hypertensive disorder and BMI categories; if hypertensive disorder, adjusted for diabetes and BMI categories; if obesity by BMI categories, adjusted for diabetes and hypertensive disorder).

c

Hypertensive Disorder includes chronic hypertension, preeclampsia, eclampsia, and HELLP syndrome.

d

Total sample for BMI Model 1 and Model 2 is 2,855.
