a

Multivariate logistic regression model adjusted for maternal age, race/ethnicity, education, marital status, parity, gestational age, smoking, alcohol use and chronic condition risk factors (if diabetes, adjusted for hypertensive disorder and Body Mass Index (BMI) categories; if hypertensive disorder, adjusted for diabetes and BMI categories; if obesity by BMI categories, adjusted for diabetes and hypertensive disorder).

b

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