  1. Data are presented as adjusted odds ratios (95 % confidence intervals)
  2. Odds ratios were adjusted for nulliparity, maternal age, body mass index at delivery, and delivery year. In addition to the above confounding factors, delivery type (Cesarean section or not) was added for adjustment based on the perinatal outcome of postpartum hemorrhage
  3. CC Carpenter-Coustan criteria, GDM gestational diabetes mellitus, NDDG National Diabetes Data Group criteria, NICU neonatal intensive care unit
  4. aExcluding neonatal death
  5. bOnly including vaginal delivery
  6. c95 % confidence interval did not include 1
