Male versus female gender1.36 (1.14 to 1.61)<0.001
SGA versus AGA4.65 (3.52 to 6.15)<0.001
  • AGA: BW ≥10th percentile. SGA: BW <10th percentile.

  • AGA, appropriate for gestational age; BW, birth weight; GA, gestational age; PPROM, prelabour preterm rupture of membranes; SGA, small for gestational age.
