Note: aRR = adjusted risk ratio; OHSS = ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome; RR = risk ratio.

a

Where number of fetal heart beats = 1. Risk ratios adjusted for age, number of prior miscarriages, body mass index, uterine-factor infertility, and race.

b

Where number of fetal heart beats = 1 and no first-trimester loss. Risk ratios adjusted for age, number of prior miscarriages, body mass index, uterine-factor infertility, and race.

c

Where number of fetal heart beats = 1 and no first- or second-trimester loss. Risk ratios adjusted for age, body mass index, uterine-factor infertility, primigravid status, and race.

d

For singleton pregnancies resulting in live birth. Risk ratios adjusted for age, number of previous preterm deliveries, body mass index, uterine-factor infertility, and race.

e

Where number of fetal heartbeats ≥2. Risk ratios adjusted for age, number of previous miscarriages, body mass index, uterine-factor infertility, and race.

f

Where number of fetal heartbeats ≥2 and no first-trimester loss. Risk ratios adjusted for age, number of prior miscarriages, body mass index, uterine factor infertility, and race.

g

Where number of fetal heartbeats ≥2 and no first- or second-trimester loss. Risk ratios adjusted for age, body mass index, uterine-factor infertility, primigravid status, and race.

h

For twin pregnancies resulting in live birth. Risk ratios adjusted for age, number of previous preterm deliveries, body mass index, uterine-factor infertility, and race.
