  • 5-150 Adjusted FR calculated with adjustment for cycle order, mother's age, father's age, father's laboratory work, and reported fertility problems. TTP censored at 12 months.

  • 5-151 The analysis included all pregnancies where complete data were available (n=375) of the 291 women working in laboratory departments.

  • The analyses were repeated five times and included only women working in laboratory departments.
