aThe association between vaginal taxa and sPTB was estimated with logistic model adjusted for age, number of previous pregnancies, prepregnancy body mass index, and passive smoking. aOR: adjusted odds ratio; CI: confidence interval; cOR: crude odds ratio; GDM: gestational diabetes mellitus; P/A: presence/absence.
