Table 3:

Donor characteristics by exclusive predonation pregnancy complication categories. Donors are only included in 1 complication category. PE/E = Pre-eclampsia; gDM = Gestational Diabetes; gHTN = Gestational Hypertension; DM=diabetes; HTN=hypertension; TIA= transient ischemic attack; BP=Blood Pressure. P-value calculated using Kruskal-Wallis rank sum tests (for variables presented as median [IQR]), ANOVA (for variables presented as mean ± sd), or Fisher’s exact tests (for categorical variables).
