Abbreviations: SVI: social vulnerability index, RR: risk ratio, aRR: adjusted risk ratio, CI: confidence interval.

1

Model adjusted for: age, race and ethnicity, parity, trimester of pregnancy at baseline, and chronic comorbidities.

2

Unadjusted and adjusted risk ratios calculated using modified Poisson regression with robust error variance.

3

N = 456 in the unadjusted model and 453 in the adjusted model.

4

aRR per every one unit increase in SVI quartile.

5

Mean SVI value (0 to 1) by quartile among individuals with baseline data: <25%, 0.12; ≥25-49%, 0.43; ≥50-74%, 0.71; and ≥ 75–100%, 0.88.
