  1. Crude OR: only antenatal ultrasound scans as the independent variable
  2. Adjusted OR1: adjusted for socio-demographic variables, including maternal and husband education level, maternal age and family annual income
  3. Adjusted OR2: adjusted for clinical variables, including antenatal care, pregnancy complications, previous adverse pregnant outcomes and primiparity
  4. Adjusted OR3: adjusted for both socio-demographic and clinical variables, including maternal and husband education level, maternal age, family annual income, antenatal care, pregnancy complications, previous adverse pregnant outcomes and primiparity
  5. * continuous variables
  6. # Antenatal care refers to antenatal check-up during the 1st trimester of pregnancy plus 4 times during 2nd and 3 rd trimesters, ie, at least 5 antenatal visits during pregnancy
  7. &Antenatal ultrasound scans means the frequencies that women had ultrasound scans during the index pregnancy
