  • Note: CI = confidence interval, OR = odds ratio.

  • * Models adjusted for maternal age, gestational hypertension, assisted reproductive therapy, infant birth weight and multifetal pregnancy.

  • Models additionally adjusted for cesarean delivery, antenatal steroid use and delivery in a hospital with level 3 care.

  • Regression models weighted to account for stratified sampling methodology used by EPIPAGE-2 in setting up the cohort in France.
