Some answers were not included because they were not plausible or the woman did not remember. Data shows number of cases (%) or median (p25–p75). We compared continuous variables between groups using Student's t-test or Mann-Whitney's U-test, and categorical variables using Chi squared test.

Bold values indicate statistically significant differences (p <0.05) between study groups.
