Notes: Data are n (%) unless otherwise specified. Statistically significant risk estimates were italicized and bold.

a

ORs were adjusted for maternal age, country of maternal birth, smoking, body mass index, parity, and year of birth.

b

We did not have data on spontaneous vs induced preterm birth in all preterm births, hence numbers do not add up.

Abbreviations: LGA, large for gestational age; SGA, small for gestational age.
