  1. Note: Standard errors of effects are in parentheses; the % changes in hospitalizations relative to the unaffected control group due to the cleft effects are listed in brackets (the 95% confidence intervals of these % changes are included in curly brackets); ** = p < 0.05; **** = p < 0.001; the effects are estimated from (Equation 1), adjusting for the covariates in that model.
