Adjusted on: maternal age, gestational age, woman’s primary maternity (yes or no), and maternity classification (class I: low risk, class II: moderate risk and class III: high risk).
1: Controlling the False discovery rate (FDR) at α = 0.05 following the method of Benjamini & Hochberg [18], FDR α-risk = 0.007;
2: FDR α-risk = 0.009;
3FDR α-risk = 0.01;
4FDR α-risk = 0.006;
5FDR α-risk = 0.001;
6FDR α-risk = 0.01 [18].
Bold character presents significant result at 5%. Bold and italic character presents significant result at FDR-risk; Ref: referent value. β corresponds to regression coefficient of a linear regression; OR: Odds Ratio. NO2: Nitrogen dioxide. PM10: Particulate matter < 10 μm in aerodynamic diameter.
