  1. Data are B coefficients (β) and (95% confidence interval (CI)) for the change in outcome per unit increase in adiponectin (microgram/mL).
  2. Data were analyzed using linear regression models.
  3. Adjustments were made for early pregnancy BMI and diabetes mellitus (pregestational or gestational).
