  • ORs were estimated using logistic regression and generalised estimation-equation method.

  • *Adjusted for country, maternal age, parity, year of delivery, BMI, smoking and education.

  • †Matched 1:10 on maternal age, parity and calendar year of delivery.

  • AxSpA, axial spondyloarthritis; BMI, body mass index; PsA, psoriatic arthritis; RA, rheumatoid arthritis.
