  1. aOther potential confounders include: diabetes, hypertension, infant sex, maternal age, maternal race, mode of delivery, antenatal steroids. Traditional models are also adjusted for gestational age at delivery
  2. bThe fetuses-at-risk model included all fetuses-at-risk of respiratory outcomes and perinatal death (n = 763,671)
  3. BPD bronchopulmonary dysplasia, RDS respiratory distress syndrome
