  • Results are based on 25 multiple imputed datasets.

  • Monoclonal Ab includes rituximab and belimumab.

  • Any teratogenic immunosuppression includes cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, mycophenolate mofetil and mycophenolic acid.

  • aORs and 95% CIs are shown in bold when the null effect is excluded at alpha=0.05. aOR >1 indicates higher odds of contraception counselling defined; aOR <1 indicates lower odds of contraception counselling defined, compared with the reference group.

  • *Models 1–3 results are from three separate multivariable logistic models and model 4 is from a multivariable, cumulative proportional odds logistic model for a four-level, ordinal, polytomous outcome of no contraception counselling, one contraception counselling subspecialty, two contraception counselling specialties, and three or more counselling specialties.

  • Ab, antibody; AI/NA, American Indian/Native Alaskan; aOR, adjusted OR.
