  1. Maternal age, race/ethnicity, parity, education levels, smoking during pregnancy, previous history of preterm birth, marital status, infant sex, initiation of prenatal care, and pre-pregnancy BMI were adjusted in models. Maternal race/ethnicity and pre-pregnancy BMI category were not adjusted for when used as a stratified variable, respectively
  2. The defect values in the table indicated that gestational diabetes had not been screened when extremely preterm birth occurred
  3. aOR; 95% CI in parentheses (all such values)
