  1. OR odds ratio, aOR adjusted odds ratio. CI Confidence interval. All outcome variables were adjusted for maternal age, parity, body mass index, maternal pregestational diabetes, infertility treatment and smoking. All variables were entered simultaneously in logistic regression analysis. With twins, neonatal data included information for only one. 1st tertile birth weight ≤ 3,325 g, 3rd tertile birth weight ≥ 3,730 g, ≤ 10th percentile birth weight ≤ 2,892 g, ≥ 90th percentile birth weight ≥ 4,110 g
