Values below limit of detection (LOD) are imputed as LOD/√2. Phthalate concentrations are corrected for specific gravity and log-transformed. Robust standard errors were used. Adjusted estimates are adjusted for maternal age, maternal race, maternal ethnicity, maternal education, prenatal smoking, pre-pregnancy BMI, maternal history of asthma, child sex, year of child’s birth and study site. Odds ratios are reported per 2-fold increase in phthalate concentration.
