  1. Multiple logistic regression models were applied to obtain the final predictive models using stepwise variable selection procedure with inclusion and exclusion criterion of 0.05; # = excluded by the variable selection procedure
  2. Notes: BW z score Birth weight z score, GA x BW z score interaction between GA and Birth weight z score, Estimate estimated coefficient of the covariate, SE standard error
