Models were adjusted for maternal age, parity, maternal hemoglobin level change and infant gender
CI confidence interval, NICU neonatal intensive care unit
^a Models were adjusted for maternal age, parity, and infant gender
^b The pH of cord bloods was set as 1 between 7.25 and 7.35, and 0 if it was less than 7.25 or more than 7.35
^c Neonatal adverse outcomes were assigned a value of 1
^d The neonatal admission to NICU was assigned a value of 1
