p Values refer to Wald’s test. pa: p value for interaction between stratified variables and delivery mode. Analyses were adjusted for birth weight, gestational age, maternal age at childbirth, maternal education level, paternal education level, region, sex, and year of birth. The sex-subgroup analysis was adjusted for all covariates except for sex; the area-subgroup analysis was adjusted for all covariates except for area.
