Results were based on multivariate logistic regression models. Maternal asthma was defined as positive at either prenatal or 3-months postnatal time points. Cockroach prenatal allergen levels (μg/g of dust) are expressed as natural log-transformed values. 1BRQ, 2ISAAC Eczema Module BRQ, Brief Respiratory Questionnaire.
