  1. OR = odds ratio
  2. Each row represents a separate univariate model. The following variables had more than 15% missing and were excluded from the multivariate analysis: duration of labor, rupture of membranes, 1st minute APGAR, and 5th minute APGAR. Percentages may not add to 100% due to rounding
