SP screened respiratory allergies positive, STP both screened respiratory allergies positive and allergen test positive
Maternal behavioral factors included sleep less than 8 h/day, exercise less than 1 h/day, screen time more than 2 h/day
“0” demonstrated that none of three risk factors were occurred; “1” demonstrated that one of these three risk factors was occurred; “2” demonstrated that two of these three risk factors were occurred.; “3” demonstrated that these three risk factors were all occurred
