  1. Values are regression coefficients (95% confidence interval) and reflect the difference in standard deviation score of head circumference from 2nd trimester until 14 months of age for the different glucocorticoid haplotypes. SDS, gestational age adjusted standard deviation score; CI, confidence interval. Models are adjusted for age at visit and gender.
