Adjusted for mother’s age, year of birth, if the mother smokes at early pregnancy, if the mother lives together with the father of the child, BMI, parity, if the mother has diabetes mellitus, and if the mother is addicted to alcohol or are diagnosed with other dependencies. For gestational diabetes and preeclampisa stillbirths are included

The method used for measuring association between Caesarean section and liver disease was multinomial logistic regression. The interpretation of the estimates is in terms of relative rate ratios Adjusted for mother’s age, year of birth, if the mother smokes at early pregnancy, if the mother lives together with the father of the child, BMI, parity, if the mother has diabetes mellitus, and if the mother is addicted to alcohol or are diagnosed with other dependencies
