Notes: Model was unadjusted for any confounding variables. Multiple logistic regression model was used, while adjusting for gender, preterm birth, birth asphyxiation, fetal growth restriction, family income, paternal and maternal education, paternal and maternal age at childbirth. § Hierarchical linear regression model was used, while adjusting for gender, preterm birth, birth asphyxiation, fetal growth restriction, family income, paternal and maternal education, paternal and maternal age at childbirth. β was the coefficient for ETS exposure variable in the hierarchical linear regression model, where the dependent variable took the form of log (hyperactivity score + 1). a p < 0.05; b p < 0.005; c p < 0.001.
