Weighted by probability of pregnancy (predictors: systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, study group, age, BMI, race [white vs. non-white], marital status [married, living as married, other], cigarette smoking, parity, study site, number of prior losses and time from last pregnancy loss to enrollment [≤4 months, 5–8 months, 9–12 months, >12 months])

Adjusted for treatment assignment, age, BMI, race (white vs. non-white), marital status (married, living as married, other), cigarette smoking, parity and time from last pregnancy loss to enrollment (≤4 months, 5–8 months, 9–12 months, >12 months)
