Abbreviations: HDP, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy; OR, odds ratio; SGA, small for gestational age.

a

Adjusted for age, race and ethnicity, body mass index, smoking, and aspirin use.

b

This characteristic is included in statistical models after a logarithm transformation (base, 2). ORs for log-transformed quantities are interpreted on the multiplicative scale.

c

P < .05.
