  1. Values are odds ratios (95% confidence interval) and reflect the difference in risk of prenatal growth deceleration and postnatal growth acceleration until 24 months of age for the different glucocorticoid haplotypes compared to the reference group (-0.67 to 0.67 SDS change in weight SDS). SDS, gestational age adjusted standard deviation score; CI, confidence interval. Models are adjusted for age at visit and gender.
