All data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation or number (percentage). BMI, body mass index; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; FPG, fasting plasma glucose; UA, uric acid; AST, aspartate transaminase; and ALT, alanine aminotransferase. There are 13, 18, 22, 2, and 4 missing data for the maternal height, maternal weight, maternal BMI, maternal UA, and delivery mode, respectively.
