Data show the percentage and sample size (n). a p-Value was extracted by the chi-squared test. Adjusted odds ratios (aOR), 95% confidence intervals [95% CI], and b p-Value associated was extracted from general regression models adjusted for ethnicity, obstetrical control and parity. The regression models were built considering age as a continuous variable.
