  • *Non-pregnant comparison participants were selected among non-pregnant participants from the UC, frequently matched to participants experiencing incident pregnancy based on DAP scale score and time at risk of pregnancy (ie, time in the UC).

  • †Percentages may not add to 100% due to rounding.

  • ‡P values derived from a series of bivariable mixed effects regression models.

  • §Characteristic assessed at UC baseline.
