  3. bNot reported for the following protocol-specified characteristics because of low (< 5) group counts: liver and kidney disease; rheumatic disease; inflammatory bowel disease; immunodeficiency, and use of antiepileptics. In the propensity-score matched dataset neurologic diseases also not reported. cDefined by pre-pregnancy body mass index or a hospital diagnosis of obesity. Data are n (%) unless otherwise specified
