  • Estimates provide results from subgroup analyses (full cohort listed at top).

  • Referent based on pregnancies with no motor vehicle crash.

  • Relative risk estimate from proportional hazards analysis (Cox regression).

  • CI based on 95% limits using normal approximation (Wald statistic).
