[...]we included the 243 pairs of GDM and non-GDM women in the study [Supplementary Figure 1, http://links.lww.com/CM9/B840]. [...]401 children (17.5% loss to follow-up) attended at least one postpartum follow-up. [...]multivariate analysis was conducted to adjust for the potential risk factors, including maternal pre-pregnancy BMI, parity, smoking habit, gestational age at delivery, and child gender. [...]we further adjusted for GDM in addition to those risk factors to check the potential mediation effect of GDM between BCAAs and adverse growth patterns.
