Linear regression analysis was applied in model 4 and a logistic regression analysis was applied in models 1, 2, and 3. Dependent Variables Live birth, preterm birth, low birth weight, birth weight; Independent variables Nationality, propensity score: age, parity, abortion, pregnancy spacing shorter than 2 years, previous C/S, concurrent chronic disease, and gestational week at first antenatal gynecologist appointment
