Note. Complication group = childbirth-related infant health complications resulting in NICU admission. PP = postpartum. OR = odd ratios. Comorbidity PTSD + depression served as the reference group (coded 0) and thus negative coefficients relate to higher likelihood for comorbidity.
= refers to younger age and higher likelihood for comorbidity
= refers to not being primiparous and higher likelihood for comorbidity.
