Relative risks (95% confidence intervals) for an IVF live birth associated with a doubling in couples’ urinary phthalate concentrations (ng/mL), adjusted for covariates (n=36)
NOTE: Adjusted for partners’ ages (years), urinary specific gravities, histories of smoking (“ever” vs. “never”), women’s body mass index (kg/m2), and partner’s urinary phthalates using individual Poisson models, and multiple imputation for participants with missing values for some covariates (n=2 women missing specific gravity, n=3 men missing specific gravity, n=1 missing BMI, n=1 man missing age).
* p<0.05.
