  • *Defined as 3 months prior to the date of conception.

  • †Logistic regression in matched cohort.

  • ‡Multivariable logistic regression with HDPS deciles.

  • §Multivariable logistic regression with continuous HDPS as covariate.

  • ¶Exposure window starting from 12 months preconception, logistic regression in HDPS matched cohort.

  • HDPS, high-dimensional propensity score; SGA, small-for-gestational-age.
