Abbreviation: NA, not applicable.

a

Dose-normalized concentration estimate during the nonpregnant state in both the cohort of pregnant women and control participants.

b

A significant P value for β2 indicates that the cohort of pregnant women has differences in dose-normalized concentration estimates during the nonpregnant state compared with the cohort of control participants.

c

Change in dose-normalized concentrations with respect to time in both the cohort of pregnant women and the control participants.

d

A significant P value for β3 indicates that the cohort of pregnant women has a significant change in dose-normalized concentrations during pregnancy compared with the cohort of control participants.
