AV: aerobic vaginitis; OR: odds ratio; CI: confidence interval; NICU: neonatal intensive care unit. Data are presented as number (%) and odds ratio with confidence interval. ∗The analysis was adjusted for maternal age, body mass index, parity, previous cesarean delivery, hypertensive disorders with pregnancy, pregestational and gestational diabetes mellitus, smoking habits, education level, and woman's occupation. p value < 0.05 is significant.
