Adjusted for age and BMI

Models restricted to women who had an ongoing pregnancy >20 weeks, with inverse probability weights used to control for potential selection bias introduced by restricting to women who achieved pregnancy. Weights were based on factors associated with becoming pregnancy, including age, parity, marital status, number of prior losses and treatment assignment. Weighted log-binomial regression was used to estimate risk ratios and 95% confidence intervals.
