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

  • * Excludes pregnancy terminations that resulted in stillbirth.

  • The unadjusted ORs show the effect of each factor independent of the other factors; the adjusted ORs show the effect after adjustment for all other factors in the table.

  • Wald χ2 test.
