| Thyroxine | Unadjusted models | Adjusted modelsa | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Odds ratio (95% CI) | P value | Odds ratio (95% CI) | P value | |
| FT4 (pmol/L) | 1.04 (1.02–1.07) | 0.001 | 1.04 (1.01–1.07) | 0.003 |
| TT4 (ng/ml) | 1.01 (0.94–1.08) | 0.85 | 1.01 (0.95–1.08) | 0.78 |
| FTT4P (%) | 2.59 (1.35–4.97) | 0.004 | 2.41 (1.27–4.59) | 0.007 |
Abbreviations: FT4, free thyroxine; TT4, total thyroxine; FTT4P, free-to-total thyroxine proportion; and 95% CI, 95% confidence interval. aAdjusted factors included maternal age (<25, 25–34, or ≥35), residence (local or nonlocal), parity (nulliparous or pluriparous), assisted conception (yes or no), gestational diabetes (yes or no), preeclampsia (yes or no), and fetal sex (male or female).
