Definition of abbreviations: 3HP = 12-dose once-weekly regimen of isoniazid (900 mg) plus rifapentine (900 mg); 9H = 9-month daily isoniazid (300 mg); DOB = date of birth; DOB(r) = DOB reported by the site; EDC = estimated date of conception; EDC(r) = EDC reported by the site; EDD = estimated delivery date; EDD(r) = EDD reported by the site (e.g., if a child was born prematurely, the calculation of EDD − 266 is still considered accurate, as EDD was calculated by the clinician at enrollment, most likely using LMP; however, LMP was not reported); LMP = last menstrual period.
