<p>* <i>P</i> indicates the significance level of the difference by characteristics of women who have been included in the analyses vs. women who were no included in the analysis. We used an F test for a continuous data and a chi-squared test for categorical data. Missing category was not considered in the significance test.<sup></sup></p
