  1. Data are expressed as adjusted odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals
  2. Infection morbidity: Defined as fever, infection, endometritis, and chorioamnionitis
  3. Multivariable models included the following covariates: Maternal nationality, prior cesarean number (one compared with two), gestational age, maternal age, maternal BMI at delivery, parity, GDM and preeclampsia
  4. *Significant findings (P < 0.05)
