Note: Associations between preconception DAP concentrations and early IVF outcomes were estimated using GEE models. BMI, body mass index; CI, confidence interval; DAP, dialkylphosphate; DEP, diethylphosphate; DETP; diethylthiophosphate; DMP, dimethylphosphate; DMTP, dimethylthiophosphate; GEE, generalized estimating equations; IVF, in vitro fertilization; PSS, Perceived Stress Scale; RR, risk ratios; PSS, Perceived Stress Scale; RR, risk ratio.
Adjusted for age, BMI, duration of infertility, smoking status, education, annual household income, infertility diagnosis, two items from the PSS-10 questionnaire (“Have you been upset because of something that happened unexpectedly?” and “Have felt unable to control the important things in your life?”).
The cut points of DAP metabolites were the same as the cut points shown in Table 4.
