Model Model Assumptions for Misclassification CL/P ORa (95% Credible Interval) CPO ORa (95% Credible Interval)
1 No misclassification 1.3 (1.1–1.6) 1.2 (1.0–1.5)
2 Misclassification with known sensitivity and specificity with maternal report as gold standard 1.2 (0.9–1.5) 1.0 (0.7–1.3)
3 Prior distributions on sensitivity and specificity, with maternal report as gold standard 1.5 (1.1–2.1) 1.1 (0.7–1.6)
4 Prior distributions on sensitivity and specificity, with cotinine levels used as gold standard 1.6 (1.1–2.2) 1.1 (0.7–1.7)
