  1. aThe cumulative individual risk score for each mother was calculated as the sum of values (0 for negative or 1 for positive) for each significant risk factor (long working hours, stress and maternal age). Maternal age was classified as 1 for values ≥30 years old and as 0 for values < 30 years old (30 years was the median value for mother age at childbirth in our dataset)
