*Change of one log10 pg/ml cytokine level in children born by cesarean section as compared to children born by vaginal delivery. ‡Foroutcome IL-13, model adjusted for maternal age, maternal atopy, neonatal birth weight, neonatal gestational age, and neonatal birth length. For outcome IFN-γ, model adjusted for maternal age, maternal atopy, and neonatal birth weight. For outcome IL-10, model adjusted for maternal age, neonatal gestational age, and neonatal birth weight. | |||
