Frequencies based on sample used for current asthma at 36 months classified based on follow-up Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort Study (MoBa) questionnaire.
Missing covariate information <2% for each individual covariate.
Given the large sample size, all p values for χ2 tests (categorical covariates) and analysis of variance (continuous covariates) <0.01.
