  1. Odds ratios were adjusted for the confounding effects of maternal age, maternal age-square, household income, proportions of African-American and Hispanic ethnicities, and complications of pregnancy. An individual subject may have had a claim in more than one time period, and/or may have received more than one type of treatment in a given time period; the regression models adjust for these instances of multiple treatment exposures
