CI, confidence interval; HR, hazard ratio.

a

Adjusted for maternal smoking during pregnancy, age, parity, education, diabetes (maternal type 1 diabetes in MoBa and all types of maternal diabetes in DNBC), and pre-pregnancy BMI.

b

Adjusted for parental (both maternal and paternal) age, education, diabetes (maternal type 1 diabetes in MoBa and all types of maternal diabetes in DNBC), BMI and smoking during pregnancy, in addition to maternal parity.

We imputed 20 datasets of missing exposure and covariate information by multiple imputation by chained equations, and run analyses with these. This analysis takes into account uncertainty in the imputation
