  1. Abbreviations: RR Relative risk, in comparison with the subgroups in reference, CI confidence interval, GA Gestational age, BW Birthweight, PAF Population attributable fraction. * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, and *** P < 0.001 for comparisons with the reference group
  2. Values are n or ratio (‰). Ratio refers to per thousand (‰) of livebirths at each stratum except the total number of neonatal or infant deaths which refers to total livebirths (59056)
