  1. *P-value from Fisher’s Exact test.
  2. Continuous variables are presented as mean (standard deviation) and continuous variables as number (%). Odds ratios are for a 1 unit increase in a variable. BMI = body mass index, CI = confidence interval, IVF = in vitro fertilisation, ICSI = intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection, SIMD = Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation. Missing data are as follows: n = 1 pregnant (smoking status, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, height, weight, cycle length); n = 2 pregnant (weight, BMI); n = 4 pregnant (waist); n = 6 pregnant (menstrual period length); n = 1 non-pregnant (age, smoking status, weight, BMI); n = 2 non-pregnant (waist); n = 3 non-pregnant (cycle length, number of previous pregnancies ≥ 24 weeks; number of previous pregnancies <24 weeks); n = 6 non-pregnant (number of embryos transferred; treatment); n = 8 non-pregnant (systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure); n = 13 non-pregnant (menstrual period length).
