Table 3. Associations between pro-inflammatory cytokines and prenatal fatigue (N = 271).
A general linear regression model was built for associations between pro-inflammatory cytokines and prenatal fatigue. A standardized regression coefficient (β) with its p-value and 95% confidence interval were presented. TNF-α was identified as an independent predictor of prenatal fatigue.
| β x | SE | β | t | p | β x 95% CI | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Constant | 36.032 | 1.284 | 28.064 | <0.001 | [33.504, 38.560] | |
| TNF-α | 0.054 | 0.01 | 0.263 | 5.581 | <0.001 | [0.035, 0.073] |
| Sleep quality (PQSI) | 0.925 | 0.178 | 0.27 | 5.191 | <0.001 | [0.574, 1.276] |
| Depression (EPDS) | 1.152 | 0.159 | 0.376 | 7.266 | <0.001 | [0.840, 1.465] |
