aRR Poission regression reporting relative risk adjusted for maternal age and parity
aRR¹ Poission regression reporting relative risk adjusted for maternal age, parity, anxiety/depression Read codes and treatment type (pharmacological/non-pharmacological) in the pre-delivery period, further pregnancy in the postnatal year
aRR² Multinomial logistic regression reporting relative risk adjusted for maternal age, parity, concurrent anxiety/depression Read codes, further pregnancy in the postnatal year
aRR³ Multinomial logistic regression reporting relative risk adjusted for maternal age, parity, concurrent anxiety/depression Read codes, anxiety/depression Read codes and treatment type (pharmacological/non-pharmacological) in the pre-delivery period, further pregnancy in the postnatal year
CI confidence interval
bolded estimates are statistically significant
