aAdjusted for maternal age (continuous), maternal BMI (continuous), smoking (never vs. ever), primary infertility diagnosis (male, female, unexplained), race (white vs. other) and type of procedure (IVF vs. IUI).

bModels were weighted to account for number of cycles with weights assigned using inverse number of cycles.

c  P-value represents differences compared to the 2nd tertile.

Note: There were 5 cycles missing information on BMI (2 women), 1 cycle missing 8-iso-PGF (1 woman) and 3 cycles missing F2-IsoP-M (3 women).

Abbreviations: 8-isoprostane-PGF (8-iso-PGF); 8-isoprostane-PGF metabolite (F2-isoP-M); IVF and IUI.
