Data are presented as number of samples, NPX mean, standard deviation (SD) and mean difference (postpartum (pp) - pregnancy (preg)), as well as Linear Mixed model-derived p-values and Bonferroni corrected p-values for the difference between postpartum and pregnancy NPX values.
^*Adjusted for age at partus, pre-pregnancy BMI, antibiotics at blood sampling, and chronic inflammatory or rheumatic disease. ^aNot confirmed in Wilcoxon paired test.
