The study we published [1] was the research article based on the complete final cohort. The previous paper, published in AJOG [2] was only an abstract, based on partial preliminary data, for the SMFM conference, and for that reason its results differ from those of the complete study. Also, this study was not powered for its outcome due to its limited sample size, and was not argued to be.
