aFetal/Neonatal outcomes are calculated at the maternal level if at least one fetus/neonate has the outcome

bOdds ratios from a multivariable logistic regression model adjusting for at least one oligohydramnios finding, previous

live birth and site using general estimating equations to account for the correlation of outcomes within cluster

cMean difference from a multivariable regression model adjusting for at least one oligohydramnios finding and site, previous live birth and site using general estimating equations to account for the correlation of outcomes within cluster
