Table 2:
Adjusted relative risk and 95% confidence interval of the relationships between the individual treatment groups and ductus constriction. The potential confounders in the model were: gestational age (<26 0/7 weeks or ≥26 0/7 weeks), antenatal betamethasone exposure (<24 hours or ≥24 hours), and Caucasian race (yes or no).
