SE, standard error

*

Significant at the ·05 level, 2-sided test.

a

Chi square tests comparing the proportion of respondents with PE onset prior to GMC onset versus the proportion of respondents with GMC onset prior to PE onset.

b

Estimates are based on weighted data.

c

Unstable estimates due to small design effect.
