  • *Comparison of low, basic or broad general educational attainment. As the parallel lines assumption is satisfied, results are the same for all categories in generalised ordinal logistic regression analyses.

  • †Adjusted for sex, maternal age, maternal height, parity, marital status and smoking in pregnancy, deprivation, presentation, mode of delivery, gestation at delivery and birthweight centile, with multiple imputation for missing values in maternal height and smoking in pregnancy.

  • ‡Adjusted for sex, overall ASN status, maternal age, maternal height, parity, marital status and smoking in pregnancy, deprivation, presentation, mode of delivery, gestation at delivery and birthweight centile, with multiple imputation for missing values in maternal height and smoking in pregnancy.

  • ASN, additional support needs.
