  1. BMI body mass index, CS cesarean section, DM diabetes mellitus, GDM gestational diabetes mellitus, PRHDs pregnancy-related hypertensive disorders
  2. *Maternal composite outcome consisting of one or more of the following outcomes: Perineal tears of 3rd or 4th-degree; post-partum hemorrhage; hysterectomy; fever; pulmonary embolism; hematoma; post-operative complications
  3. **Neonatal composite outcome consisting of one or more of the following outcomes: NICU hospitalization (childbirth related), low Apgar score at 5th minute (< 7), low arterial cord blood pH (< 7.1), low arterial cord blood base-excess (<−12), and neonatal tracheal intubation
  4. Multivariate logistic regression models:
  5. Corrected for maternal age, pre-pregnancy BMI, labor induction, labor augmentation, gestational age at delivery, multiple gestations, previous CS, pre-pregnancy DM, GDM, and PRHDs
  6. Corrected for gestational age at delivery (weeks), neonatal weight > 4000 g, episiotomy, operative vaginal delivery
  7. §Corrected for pre-pregnancy BMI (kg/m2), labor induction, gestational age at delivery (weeks), previous CS, DM, GDM, PRHDs, neonatal weight > 4000 g, operative vaginal delivery
