Is in vitro fertilization associated with preeclampsia? A propensity score matched study

Table 3 Odds ratio of developing preeclampsia among patients who had IVF

Model	Odds ratio (95% CI)	P value
Eligible study sample, unadjusted (n = 3084)	2.72 (1.46-5.08)	0.002
Eligible study sample, adjusted for baseline characteristics^a (n = 3084)	2.32 (1.08-4.99)	0.031
Propensity score matched sample (pair of n = 474)	2.50 (0.49-12.89)	0.273

^aadjusted confounders were maternal characteristics (age, age at marriage, parity, number of abortions, working status, height, weight before pregnancy, smoking and drinking during pregnancy, family history of hypertension, mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure before 20-weeks gestational age, and underlying diseases such as central nervous system disease, cerebrovascular disease, asthma, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, psychiatric disease, and autoimmune disease) and paternal characteristics (age, age at marriage, height, weight, and smoking status).
Multiple logistic regression was used for analysis.
Values in bold are significant at the p = 0.05 level.
