  • Data are n (%), n/N (%) or median (25–75th centile) unless otherwise stated.

  • *FNP compared with usual care. Analysis adjusted for stratification (site), minimisation variables (gestational age, smoking status at recruitment, and first or preferred language).

  • †OR from logistic model.

  • ‡Relative risk ratio from multinomial model.

  • §HR from Cox model.

  • FNP, family nurse partnership.
