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.

a

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?”).

b

The cut points of DAP metabolites were the same as the cut points shown in Table 4.
