Note. SE = standard error; BMI = Body-Mass-Index; SES = socio-economic status; CES-D = Center for Epidemiologic Studies – Depression Scale; CTQ = Childhood Trauma Questionnaire. Outcome: repeatedly-measured aggregated score of serum concentrations of TNF-α and IL-6; Covariates: maternal race/ethnicity, SES, pre-pregnancy BMI, lifetime psychiatric in-patient treatment, presence of any obstetric risk conditions, pharmacological treatment of anxiety/depression during pregnancy; Predictors: Model 5: gestational age, CTQ subscale score (ln), repeatedly-measured CES-D score, CTQ subscale score (ln)*repeatedly-measured CES-D score.
