Note: Bold face indicates statistical significance at p<0.05. CI, confidence interval; OR, odds ratio.

a

Adjusted for clustering resulting from multiple singleton deliveries for the same mother and potential confounders including study site, infant sex, maternal age, race, marital status, parity, prepregnancy BMI, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, insurance status, humidity, and season of conception.

b

Additionally adjusted for exposures to particulate matter with diameter <2.5μm and ozone.

c

Analyses were based on pregnancies with a completed second trimester (664 stillbirths and 220,345 live births).
