| Preterm delivery | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TTHM (μg/l) | First trimester | Second trimester | Third trimester | Pregnancy average |
| *Odds ratios adjusted for infant gender, adequacy of prenatal care, maternal race, maternal education, maternal smoking, maternal age, parity, median household income, previous infant weighing 4000 g or more, previous preterm delivery, and maternal medical history (diabetes, eclampsia, hydramnios, chronic hypertension, hypertension during pregnancy, incompetent cervix, lung disease, renal disease, and uterine bleeding). | ||||
