  • * Six different multivariate models were developed, one for each outcome. In this table, only the relative risk for continuity is presented. Each model controlled for the baby's gender, race, county of residence, and the mother's age.

  • Count outcome multivariate analyses were performed using negative binomial regression.

  • Categorical outcome multivariate analyses were performed using logistic regression.

  • ED, emergency department; CI, confidence interval.
