Because of missing sample collection, some early pregnancy losses might not have been identified.
We excluded 25 patients because of missing samples, and 2 patients were excluded because of unknown outcomes and/or missing patient data.
Because of missing samples, cytokines were obtained only in a subgroup of 108 participants.
Because of missing samples for subjects 5, 11, and 12, it was not possible to define the elimination-phase parameters for these subjects, and the area under the dexmedetomidine concentration-time curve extrapolated to infinity (AUC0-∞) was estimated by using the mean elimination half-life of the other patients.
Other limitations included the study size because of numbers of patients recruited, missing samples when patients could not be located, the lack of pyrazinamide susceptibility testing, and some uninterpretable contaminated cultures.
The association of BW and CW with adult SBP and odds of P/HTN was attenuated in our analysis sample compared with the sample excluded because of a missing weight measurement at 12 mo (Table 6 ).
Because of the missed samples and the small number of subjects completing the blood sampling procedures, it was not possible to analyze the parameters of pulsatile LH secretion.
In the final models, we dropped one mother because of a missing creatinine value, 22 because of missing covariate values, and 15 in the "other race" category, giving us a final sample size of 306.
In several cases we were not able to analyse the receptor status in our laboratory because of long preservation time or missing samples.
