a

N = number of fetal outcomes; Rate per 1000 person-years of mother’s study participation until delivery.

b

N = total number of subjects without regard to their gestational stage at vaccine or placebo administration.

c

Using only live births; excluded 1 subject whose gestational age of 21 weeks at birth was incongruent with her birth weight of 3185 g.

d

LBW is < 2500 g.

e

<10th percentile weight for GA.

f

Sex was missing for one subject and thus percent weight for gestational age could not be computed for that subject.
